Yep, I remember that time. One prepared the data on a separate 650MB partition on one of the SCSI disks as a raw iso image, then shut down the OS, restarted with a reduced OS that only ran the burning software and nothing else.
And the CD burner was an odd machine. You had to put the raw empty CD into a special case, insert that case into the burner, then the burner would move the CD out of that case and spit the empty case out again. And after burning, empty case in, full case back out. And it tended to jam after some time...
Don't remember. Was not my machine, and it was about a universe' existence ago. But it was funny to watch. They had even roped off the table so nobody touched it during the burn process.
