IIRC, my first CD-R drive (SCSI) went on my W95 system.  It required a
special driver to make it look like a regular CD, but worked fine with
the then-provided version of CD-writer SW (which also provided the
special driver.)  I think modern IDE writable CD drives all look like
CDROM drives by default (for compatibility with boot roms, if nothing
else), and are probably writable as well, if you can find SW that
simultaneously supports W95 AND the modern drive...
