Hi Harry, The Mavica cameras I?m familiar with wrote to 1.44MB floppy disks. There is a fairly new variety which writes to a mini-CD which I?m guessing you?re describing based on the capacity. Also, a stock Windoz machine only has floppy or CD capability so that further limits the possibilities.
I believe the only way for your Mac to read it is to use a Mac with a tray loading mechanism. I believe I?m correct in stating that these smaller CDs should NOT be inserted into a slot loading mechanism, ever! It could damage the drive. And be sure to have your file exchange (or pc exchange) control panel as well as the ISO 9660 extension active because these are windows formatted media.
