Add to this a shutter that doesn't open at the top. Ie, a blank minidisc has a
shutter that opens at the top and the bottem, the pre-recorded has a shutter
that only opens at the bottem.
The MiniDisc specifications defines a disc with a pre-recorded and a recordable
area. Ie a disc with a fixed recording and a recordable area.
