Hi,

I have recently bought a WiFi dongle. The package came with drivers on a
mini-disk. I managed to read it in my G4 mirror-door.

This set me thinking - could I read it on a slot-loading CD drive, like
my iBook? Somehow I doubt it, but decided not to test it - ever cautious
me!

Thanks and regards, Shane.

it's not compatible and it'll likely get stuck. download a driver from
their website. it's probably more recent anyway.

The mini CD is not compatible, when they are inserted the drive has to be
removed and the top unscrewed to get them out. The same with ECO DVD's, the
thin ones given away with newspapers. They are too thin to eject.
