And CD drives much newer than that will not read rewritable media.
I've found drives slower than _roughly_ 18X speed won't read CDRW.
And even newer drives than that will not read the new 10X CDRW media.

FWIW, I've used CD-R's in IDE drives as slow as 2X without a problem.
I don't think I've ever tried one in the older soundcard-interface
drives.  But YMMV!   :-)
