I read the spec of Sony CRX175A which states that the burner can read the 8cm disk but cannot record it. Can TEAC 24X or LITE-ON 24X record 8cm disks?

I guess the 8cm CD's are the same as the mini. If so, look at your burner tray. If it has a smaller inner depression, that's for centering the mini's, and the chances are it will burn them. Both the Plextor and liteon 24x's will, for sure.

Staples has Memorex 8 cm. discs which hold about 185 MB of data.

CRX175A's spec says:
"Disc diameter 12 cm
8 cm (read only) "
I guess it means that it can read but cannot burn 8 cm disks.

Regarding the 8 cm disc capacity, I've seen a disc whose cover states that it can hold 200+ Mb. And I've also seen a peculiar 8cm disc which is not round: both of its two ends are cut off. Interesting.
