NEVER EVER put any small size discs (mini-discs, business card discs,
etc.) in to ANY slot-loading drive. The disc will not be read and will
simply get stuck inside the drive (the drive can't eject it).

To read the smaller size discs you will have to use a try-loading drive
which has the template for the smaller size moulded into the tray.
