That's not a proof that this drive works. Try reading a known good medium, e.g.

And, even if that works, it could still be that the old CD-ROM drive in your

You really need to make sure the drive can deal with the CDs you've created.
Testing them on a modern drive is moot. Modern drives are more tolerant with
CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
I think that system had a comparatively-recent IDE-connected DVD, but
mine's somewhere waiting to be scrapped and I'm afraid I'm not going
digging for it.
