[Cialug] Drive switch

[Renegade Muskrat]

I used to see these in computer equipment catalogs, but haven't 
recently. I looked through my Cyberguys catalog and was somewhat 
surprised that they don't appear to carry drive switches anymore. 
Anyway, have you tried Googling for "hard drive switch" (without 
quotes)? The first link that was returned for me looks like it may be 
what you want: http://www.industechnologies.com/prod.html

Searching froogle.google.com instead of google.com might give you even 
more options to look at.
