Anyone know of a link to a ring or disk that will hold a 3-in mini disk so it can be played in a slot feed drive?

I never heard of one. I don't think you can use mini discs in slot loading drives. I can't imagine any way to make an adapter since keeping the mini disc and the adapter perfectly flat, rigid, and balanced would be difficult if they spun together, plus there would be no real way for the adapter to hold on to a smaller disk AND let it spin independently ... My guess is it can't be done ...

Thanks - I suspected that was the case. However, I have found that Mac slot loaders will handle minis. This is a good reference on the subject:

Minis

There are work arounds, but mainly I was wondering if there was something like a 8-inch CD with a 3-inch hole that would accept a mini and hold it. The entire thing would spin in a player.
