Tpical "real" requirements are ATA33 support from
motherboard, a hard drive fast enough to support the burning
speed chosen (UDMA working for both drives), and not using
system for anything demanding enough to interfere,
particularly if it's a one-hdd system with apps, OS, etc,
all on same drive which is source for burnt files.
Otherwise there's no reason the burner shouldn't work on a
K6-2/300 box, most likely an issue not related to the specs
of the system else a buggy bios.
