Can the slot loading drive (Mat****a UJ-825S) on the Ferrari 3200 work with mini CD-Rs and mini DVDs ??? Will it get stuck if I try to stick one in ???

The closest answer I've found is that some of the newer Apple Powerbooks have slot-loading drives that CAN handle mini CD-Rs - provided they're the round ones an not the "business" one (i.e. square-ish) - and that they're supposedly using UJ-825s.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Note: 3 inch CDs play in tray drives, and should not be inserted into the slot-type drives like some lap tops and older iMacs have.

It seems to me like you cannot use 8cm (3 inch) CD/DVD's with slot-in type drives.

no you can't use mini cdrs. i tried putting one in.. and i thought my drive was a goner because i couldn't get the disc out. luckily, tilting the laptop and letting gravity do the job for me fixed that.
