paul,
I have used an ide Ricoh  cdr - rw on my P166 with 64meg of ram before I
upgraded, I had a few failures but that was mostly down to inexperience
(I think). The setup did work tho, I would guess that if you are
prepared to copy everything to the hard drive first, and burn at 1x
speed, you ought to be able to copy most things.  A SCSI would work
better but you'd have to buy a scsi card to go with it.... more money!
