Hi Barbara,

 

You CANNOT and MUST NOT put the small 80 millimetre diameter
CDs into this type of drive.  It will disappear if you are
not careful, and the drive will need to be dismantled to
remove it.

 

For anyone who has never seen these small CDs, they come in
various forms, some even the shape of a business or credit
card with a hole in the middle.  If you look at your
conventional CD's tray, you will see that there is a
recessed section where they fit.

 

George.

I apologise that this isn't JAWS related, but perhaps
someone could Email me off list if they can help me?

 

The DVD/CD player on my computer is just an open slot. You
push the disc in so far and then the machine grabs hold of
it and pulls it in the rest of the way. So how does that
work with those tiny discs you get today if you have any
gadget requiring software? I've tried pushing it in, but the
machine does not grab hold of it and pull it in. If I push
it on in nothing happens and I'm in danger of it
disappearing out of my fingers and getting stuck inside. Do
I need some kind of an adapter?

 

Thanks for any help offered.

 

Barbara
