Mount Rainier (Packet Writing) (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Mount Rainier is a format for writable optical discs which provides the packet writing and defect management. Its goal is the replacement of the floppy disk. It is named after Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle, Washington, USA. Mount Rainier can be used only with drives that explicitly support it, but works with standard CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+/-R and DVD+/-RW media. The physical format of MRW disks is a layer placed in between the file system imposed by the operating system or the packet writing software used to write or read the disk and the physical layer which determines how data is written to or extracted from the optical disc.
