I know it reads them, but will it burn those funky mini-cds?

    he means the mini cds... not the Sony MiniDisc.



    Yes, I would believe that any tray loading CDR/DVDR should be able to burn onto the mini cdrs.

    I see Apple had the good sense to move back to trays. I hate slots. Those mini CD single sized discs have even started to pop up on driver discs, err... Imagine them getting stuck ughh... Now if only they could put a tray on the TiBook!

    They are standard CDs and they work in all CD drives.



    From Apple's TIL:

    Standard size and shape discs:



    The 77 mm and 120 mm round discs are the only size and shape that work with slot loading or slotted tray CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. See Figures 1 and 2.

    I don't believe there are any 3" CD-R's available yet.

    I have a 100 pack of mini 3" CD-R's. They hold around 30 MB if I'm correct... it might be 50...



    You can pick up all sorts of shapes from <a href="http://www.sculptedcd.com"; target="_blank">SculptedCD</a>.



    As for the Burning issue, the Powermacs, new LCD iMacs and iBooks can burn these suckers as easily as they can any other CD-R.

    They come in ALL sorts of shapes and can even be custom shaped to fit a logo or something similar.

    Can you get DVD-R's in that size? It would be nice to burn GameCube games

    The GameCube spins discs in the reverse direction as computers and conventional CD/DVD writers/players.

    Someone will find someway to hack the gamecube games, but until blank Mini-DVD's are avalable this will not happen. Those sculped CDs are awesome!

    I am also glad the new iMac's have gone back to trays over slots. Those business card CD's have started to get real popular just recently & if you put one in the old iMac, it required dissembly of the computer & CD drive to get it back out. It was just another reason not to get a iMac.
