Is it possible to run a CDRW with a 133 mHz Pentium? This would be an internal IDE device. Anybody doing this?

Should work, just will not be able to burn any faster than the machine can supply the data to it.
The problem is going to be finding burning software that wil install on that weak a machine, I wouldn't try to burn any faster than 4x unless it's a burnproof drive.

Thanks for the responses. I don't need the CDRW device to burn at maximum advertised rates. I'm more worried about the unit providing a reliable writing operation. As for burn software I some system requirement specs allowing W98 with 32 to 64 MB RAM. I have 96 MB.
