I've recently seen Kodak brand 650MB ones at K Mart & Big W stores.
Dunno if they're old stock or if Kodak still make them.
I too have encountered your problem when trying to play 700MB burned music
CDs in older players...they won't read them.
Grump.
BTW, CD ROMs are fairly cheap nowadays, might be cheaper in the long term to
replace them as Kodak CD's aren't cheap.
