you can generally drop the burn speed with no problems
(if you are doing archival work its a good idea even if the computer is
capiblle of it)
2x cd is 600kb/s or so afaikr
provided the burner has a decent buffer (likley) and the computer isnt prone
to freezeups (hmmm win95.... possible) then its quite possible
it will be the only thing the PC can do at the time (IE dont burn and play
quake (not like i have a dual Xeon 3.06 to play with MuhaHAHAA)) and it will
take something like 30 mins

Thanks for the info...
One other issue - I think the CD burner in question requires more memory and
a faster CPU than her computer has. Will the drive still function (although
not necessarily at the manufacturer's speed spec.)?

Thanks!
