Donald,
If you got the 100 blank CD-R's "years ago", they probably don't have a
very high max recording speed. But you also probably got them at a
fairly low price. So, why not try recording on one at 2X, and if that
works, go up to 4X, etc. Test each resulting CD-R on other units.
You'll only waste one blank.
Colin
