[Cialug] Drive switch

[Nathan C. Smith]

you might have a hard time finding a unique item like that locally.  You are
more likely to find a removable drive tray at a place like DIT where you can
slide in and out the drive you want to use.  They are relatively inexpensive
but their quality is somewhat lacking to.  They do work however.

cialug,

If memory serves me correctly, I have seen advertised someplace, a switch
that 
you can hook two ide drives to, and while the computer is powered off switch

to the one you want to boot from.  I have a couple of questions.  Has anyone

used one of these, and if so, when you switch drives, does it not just
switch 
the control/data cable but the power also.  And two does anyone know where I

can get  one locally, or semi locally (I live in Boone).

I have been to the Wednesday ISU sale and cannot remember seeing one there
or 
not.  I don't think so, but perhaps that is because I was not looking for 
one.

Thanks,
Steve
