I should have been more clear. The photos ARE on a mini cd-r for the Mavica.
I did put them into a tray-loaded CD drive as neither of my machines has a
slot loaded CD drive.
ISO 9660 is loaded into the extensions on my powerbook (os 9.2.2).
On my desk top I did a search for 9660 and the only file I found is
cd9660.fs and here is where it's located:
OS X::System::Library::Filesystems::cd9660.fs
There is no file labeled pc exchange or file exchange on the desktop
machine.
I have MacLinks Plus on the powerbook but not on the desktop machine. And
file exchange is in my list of active control panels.
Thanks.

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.

An acquaintance gave me photos on a mini disk. The writing on the disk says
its a 156MB for Mavica. My Mac powerbook (OS 9.2.2) nor my desktop Mac (OS
X.1.? cannot read the disk. My pc (windows 98), however can read the disk.
What gives?
Do I need special software, an extension, or control panel on the macs to
read this disk?
Thanks.
