Hi
I remember this issue with the Ferrari series but can't find the solution and would be grateful if you could help. The problem is that the drive cannot play the small cds i think there called mini cd-r and was wondering if there was an adaptor and if somebody could post a link to a solution
Thanks

There are adaptors that the CD just pops into. I don't have a link, but one came with my Sony Camera.

When I bought my iRiver, it came with a mini-CD for the installation. I have a Ferrari coming on Monday, so this might be a problem.

My Vaio came with one for something. The business card size ones are popular at places like tradeshows and such.

Don't use the CD for installing your MP3 player or any other peripheral. Rather download it from the net since that is usually an updated version from the one on your CD.

Don't the slot loading drives collect dirt?

I wouldn't think any more than a tray loading drive - if anything, less. In dash car CD players are all slot load and work great. I'm sure you've seen - the little slot actually has a thin brush like strip on the top and bottom of the opening which keeps dust out.

Well, ok. Good point. It just seems that an open slot would have stuff get in it.

You can't unless you use an adaptor

I would not recommend using adaptor. It won't work with all types of mini CDs, there is a good chance that mini CD will fall out of adaptor during unload
