    Does the TEAC DVD +/- RW drive support taking in mini CDs? I happen to have a spindle of blank ones and I was about to put one in and decided not too. I want to make sure it accepts it first. I'd rather not render my drive useless.

    Nope, I don't think it does, I'm yet to come across a slot load that does support it.

    doesn't the Wii have a slot load that takes the gamecube games?

    Yes the Wii can do it! and I know that a lot of other slot loaders can as well, i just wanted to confirm it works on the m1530 before doing something stupid. I believe the iMac supports it. Has anyone tried putting one in or know whether or not it works for SURE?

    Seek the manual and you will find!

    1. Press the eject button located above the keyboard on the center-control cover.
