I ended up ripping (literally) the old Dell case apart, taking out the DVD drive, and inserting it into a new Dell system w/ WinXP on it (what a pain).

I found this little tidbit by searching google:

Quotes:

"I read the rewiew of the 411s by OC-Freak which says that it writes anything (including -R) extremely well. He also says that firmware before FS0F was bad."

"I had heard that earlier versions of the 411S firmware wrote to -R and -RW discs in a strange manner. The tracs did not even look like those produced by other burners cabable of -R and -RW."

I was using FS02, and I'm upgrading to FS0H now ... hopefully it'll do the trick!

I've heard of people running win98 in ramdisk on diskless nodes, but
what i've found googling "windows 98 diskless" says you need to do the
install on a real drive first, so this doesn't really help.  Until M$
goes OSS and people can make Win LiveCDs (ie hell freezes over) looks
like you need to dig up an old hard drive and punish yourself for a
couple hours.
