Think you hit the nail on the head. Back in the day when I muddled around with making CDs work on beige Macs I noticed that the drives often could not read 700 MB disks, but could read 650. Basically, the laser in the beige is too "fat" to read the densely packed data on the 700 MB disk. Try burning the image onto a 650 MB CD at a slow burn speed (2x) and see what happens.
P.S. This is the same reason why some older beige Macs can't read CD-RW disks.

up on the desktop? Maybe the cd drive can't read the burned cds?
