I have a CD/DVD burner which can handle CD-RW, DVD-RW and DVD+RW
media, but neither Mount Rainier nor DVD-RAM. So far I have managed
to do packet writing (i. e. writing to a RW medium as if it were a
hard disk) using Nero InCD, but those disks then couldn't be read on
my Linux box (Xubuntu 7.04).
So is there a way to exchange packet-written RW disks between Linux
and Windows (and possibly Mac)?

For reading in Linux (and Mac), they need to have support for UDF file
system. AFAIK, the UDF file system support in Linux comes as a patch.
Ask in Linux support forum about the patch and packet writing.

(For writing in Linux, search for "pktcdvd", "udftools".)

I was in Staples, they had a 2gb flash drive on sale for a ridiculously
low price (I forget exact, maybe around $20). So take your packet
written media and put it in the archive drawer alongside your zip disks
to show your grandkids one day. Seriously, technology changes and we
need to keep up, packet writing has never been great and Mt. Ranier
won't go anywhere. I see they now have 4gb flash drives, that and
external hd's have changed the way we do things.
