Hi all,
I know this is slightly off topic, but I'd just like to point out that there's a distinction between Mini Discs and Mini CD's. Mini discs are a Sony technology which are housed in a cartridge (68 × 72 × 5 mm) with a sliding door, similar to the casing of a 3.5" floppy disk. They're mainly used by audio pros in the field. Unfortunately, they're fading away slowly. Mini CD's are the 8 CM discs you don't want to insert into your Mac's slot-loading drive.

No slot loading drive, Mac, Windows or Linux, will handle the mini-CDs. Had a friend try it a few years ago and they ended up taking their machine to the shop to get the disc back out. Tray loading drives will either have a second smaller indent in the tray or the disc snaps onto the central spindle so it doesn't matter. Today with CD media so cheap, nobody would use a mini disc.

Now that I come to think of it though, the pc I'm installing on is going to have a slot. I suppose I should really convert these drivers.

Josh Kennedy [email protected] my blog is at http://jkenn337.klangoblog.net (updated frequently). Tired of Microsoft Windows and paying thousands for screen-readers? try out NVDA, get a mac--, nvda--for Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu, Vinux, or knoppix-adriane Linux desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are the most accessible for beginners. also try vinux-gui and encourage those at www.cherrypal.com to use windows-xp and nvda knoppix-adriane Vinux-cli-max or grml so all blind people can have an accessible computer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
