At long last I have made a move to buy a CD R/W drive. A local store sells a
Cyber Drive that is affordable. It is an IDE device and according to the box,

I tried a cheap Cyberdrive CD-RW (CW038D) with a Mandrake 8.1

a test CD to mount at all never mind doing any burning. Tried
tweaking the BIOS and disabling DMA
