Can a small pocket CD (the smaller size) be used in the slot loading iBook Drive?

    For my powerbook, it says not to use the smaller cds because they may get stuck in the drive.

    I've had bad experiences with slot loading drives. I once inserted a normal sized CD in my PowerBook (it was an iPod restore cd) and the thing got stuck. I had to take the computer to a repair centre.



    So if regular cds get stuck at times, I'd assume inserting 3-inch cds, cd-cards or odd-shaped discs is a no-no.

    Vote 3 for *never* sticking anything but normal cds/dvds in a slot loading drive

    I've used the small discs in my iBook without a problem.
