8cm CDs in slot-in drives?

Hello!
Is it true that there is a adaptor device/ loader so that 8cm-diameter CDs or
mini-CDs can be used in slot-in CD and DVD drives? I thank you in advance for
your time...

Yea man! Pretty much all CD/DVD drives these days accept 8 cm disks. See the inner 8 cm circular indentation in cd drive tray? That's were you put your disk dude. As for other drives the only other thing i can think of is a disc which fits around the 8 cm cd (an adapter effectively) i have one kicking about somewere, you should have no problem finding one on the web or in an audio store.

Yeah, I know about the "normal" tray drives. I am interested in the slot-in ones. You say that there actually IS this "adapter"? And that you have one? Ok, thanks for your reply!!! (If you could tell me if you had any idea where to find one, I'd be grateful) !!! (please have in mind, I do not live in the States, so it may not be that obvious for me to find one in any audio store)...

Thanks, I appreciate that. FYI, I received a reply from an online company making mini-CDs, custom-shaped CDs and packages/cases, in which it stated unfortunately that the adapters (he/she had in mind) were for tray-loading drives that do not have the inner 8cm-diameter ring. They are not supposed to work in a slot-in drive, as they would "jam it up". Please let me (us) know if you come up with anything more (I will). Thanks again...
