A few issues here. The PB1400 and earlier PBs doesn't support SCSI Manager 4.3. For a more detailed guide to burning CDs on PB1400s and earlier, go here:
<http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/seagate/536/burningcds.html> The tests were done with Toast 4.0 (which, at the time, refused to install on a 1400 or 5300), but this also applies to Toast 5 and 4.xx). Bottom line is: no RAM cache on non-SM4.3 'Books.
