70347 2002-08-12 03:32:00 I have been shopping around but I cannot find a Mt. Rainier compliant CDRW in New Zealand, can you tell me where to get one?

Thanks!

70349 2002-08-12 05:51:00 Mt Rainier is a format (CD-MRW) that is designed to work under the OS layer sort of. It's a bit like DirectCD except it's supposed to be reliable and work as part of the OS.

I wouldn't really worry about trying to find a CD-MRW drive, as not many apps support it.

Go for a standard CD-RW

If it's that new I wouldn't bother just yet, probably too pricey at the moment and a new standard might knock it flat anyway.

70352 2002-08-12 09:38:00 Mt. Rainer is not really supported by mainy burners at the moment. Have a look at CDR Info (http://www.cdrinfo.com) for information on CD Burners.

Most current and later model CDRW drives should be able to be firmware flashed up to being able to handle Mt. Rainer.
