| | | Slot Type Cdr
I've just been sent a few Tiff images on one of the 36mb mini cd's.
Can a slot type CDr player cope with these ? I know the conventional caddy type will handle them but am loath to experiment with the slot type before some hard information is forthcoming.
Thanks |

| | | In theory, yes. At least thats the claim I have heard...no solid evidence thought.... Perhaps you can con someone into trying this out on their machine....Tom |

| | | I believe some manufacturers claim their drives will handle mini disc but I have my doubts. I think my old imac warned not to use them in its drive. |

| | | Thanks for the info. I've since learned that if you want to read a mini disc in a slot CDr you use a carrier which is essentially a plastic holder of standard CD size into which you clip its smaller brother. Never seen one. |

| | | Aha! Good to know. Thanks for passing that on. There's a good chance that could happen to all of us before too long.

| | | Are these just small versions of regular sized cd's? Like half the size in diameter? If this is the size your talking about my son had a game on a tiny one like that and it played fine in our cd reader....but I don't want to take a chance on my new computer so I will stay tuned here. |

| | | That’s it but not completely circular. The one I’ve received is 3” in diameter with the edges trimmed to form a convenient rectangle. Hold about 40Mb. Most caddy type CDr’s will handle them having a smaller holder inset into the main tray. |

| | | They are handy for posting too, fitting into a small envelope etc. You can get labels for them so you can make your your contact details accessible before the disc has to be put in the computer. |
