mini cd/dvd adapter for mac

I see there used to be several companies that made cd/dvd adapters so a mini dvd could be used on a Mac but they all have been discontinued.

Is there anywhere to purchase a mini dvd adapter?

iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Did you try Googling for them?


Both Amazon and eBay offer them for sale.

I did google and checked eBay before coming to this area but nothing is currently available same with amazon. If you find something let me know, I hit a dead end everywhere I looked.

You can always purchase an external, tray loading optical drive.

The tray loading drives have a recess in the tray for accepting mini discs.

Here's a source for Mac compatible optical drives. These are better quality optical drives.

Tray loading optical drives are more reliable, plus they are capable of playing those smaller mini sized discs.
