What types of computers will Mini CDs and other Shaped CDs work on?

Mini and shaped CDs will work on most horizontal CD drives. They will not work on vertical drives (where the CD-ROM drive is turned on its side) or on slot-loading players (which some computers have and are typical with car CD players). If you want your CD to work in the maximum number of drives, you should choose either the full-size CD or else consider using a Crystal CD which holds 180 MB of data, with a clear plastic substrate surrounding the data.
