That's not a proof that this drive works. Try reading a known good medium, e.g. a commercially pressed CD and see if that works. And, even if that works, it could still be that the old CD-ROM drive in your SPARC doesn't handle CD-Rs. 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.
