Default 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


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.
