3 inch diameter CD
Greetings all,
I've got a USB 2.0 Card Reader with a three inch CD. My computer's drive accepts a larger CD - 4.5 inch diameter CD. I'm using a Dell PC / Windows 98 / PIII @ 350 mhz Is there a workaround to use this CD - like an external small CD drive? Many thanks for your advice. Eddy |

I don't know that particular computer, but all of my CD drives take the
smaller discs. Open you drive bay and look at the ring you drop your CD into. There is probably a smaller ring inside of that and slightly lower. The small CD drops right in there. Good luck. |

I've even received business-sized card CD's -- not even round fer cripes sakes! -- and they work "ok".

In fact I believe most drives will accept the business card size and shape ones. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

Eddy If your CD tray has a smaller indent in the center of the tray it should accept the smaller disk just fine. Although your PC is early enough (like long before the 3" inc h D) it may not. You can nuy an external drive, but quite frankly, for three times the price of the drive you can by a modern computer.... like 2+ Ghz, Win XP and a DVDRW/CDRW drive that will do a lot more than read 3" disks. PS.. not all drives take the business card size CD's Some warn vehemently against it. Jim -- Jim |

Eddy If as the other posters stated your drive doesn't accept the smaller CD, just go on line to the card reader's manufacturers site and download the driver from there. Since you are using W98, you should be able to find the driver on line. |
