I had a Sony SCSI cd writer work on a Pentium 75 Mhz in an IDE system. I
believe I had a PIO mode 4 Hard drive. I had to shut down all programs
running in the background but was able to write cd's at 2x speed which was
all that was offered at the time. With a Pentium 90 I would definitely want
to go with a SCSI cd recorder to avoid burning coasters.
