Event:

Cannot use 8cm discs in my VGX-XL3 computer’s optical drive.

The drive only accepts 12cm discs. Use the included 8cm to 12cm adapter before inserting into the computer optical drive. Do not insert the 8cm disc directly or the disc may become stuck and not eject.

Cannot write to the 8cm disc with the 8cm disc adapter.

Comment:

The 8cm disc adapter (included) can be used to insert 8cm discs but the disc can only be read and not written to.
