Mini CDs and slot-loading drives don't mix
See also: Using nonstandard discs in optical drives [Apple Support]
Basically, you need a tray-loading drive if you want to use certain unusually-shaped discs. Slot-loading drives only handle normal 120 mm round discs.
Mini CDs and slot-loading drives don't mix
Apple has changed that support page more than once. It was originally created in 2000 when the iMac was the only Mac Apple shipped with a slot-loading optical drive. From memory it warned not to use non-round CDs, but stated that the smaller 80 mm CDs were supported. As new slot-loading Macs came out (white iBook, PowerBook G4) the page was updated. Unfortunately some of the later drives didn't work with small discs. Even worse, some Macs have shipped with drives from more than one supplier, so there is no guarantee that any specific model will have a drive that works. |
