dvd-ram reader for the PC?

[fremar]

I am trying to find a dvd-ram reader for my PC. I already have a pioneer 105 writer so any dvd-rom reader with dvd-ram support would be adequate. Sourcing one is proving to be difficult.
Has anyone any suggestions of make/model number and supplier of a suitable reader.

Dvd-ram may be excellent for editting etc. but the support for it is definately on the wane.

Thanks in Advance

Actually it's on the increase! DVD-RAM has, with the exception of the last few years, been a high end business solution not designed for consumer use. That has onbviously changed now and the likes of Toshiba, Panasonic and Samsung have added support to their DVD-ROM drives. Even Pioneer support it in their A07 DVD burner!

Support for DVD-RAM will always be relatively low compared to the others DVDR formats but then that is something you accept when you buy into the format.
