I have seen old drives being picky with modern CD/R and the content of the
image works fine in general. Of course they may be bugs in the CD driver
or ATA driver (especially in the U5 case where the hardware is ... strange),
and probably installs on those machines via real CDs are rare nowadays,
so this isn't heavily tested.
