One of the biggest problems I can think of with an old computer that came with dos is the bios not being plug and play compatible. Plug and play came out around 94 or 95 to the best of my knowledge. A lot of the systems that came out around that time had to have software drivers for the cd drives to work, I don't know if that will be an issue with your machine but it could be depending on the age of the bios.
