I think they make a comercial version of this now, but here is what I
dad a couple of years ago.
It works for IDE drives.  Put in 2 IDE drives, instead of putting
jumpers on for the master and slave put the plug with 2 wires on the
jumper posts instead. most drives you only need 3 wires per drive.
 Connect these to a DPDT toggle switch and you can control wich drive is
master or slave on boot. Put a different OS on each drive.  Up until a
year ago I had  DOS/ Win 3.1 and Win 98 SE on my one computer.

If you want more info on this contact me off list.

BOB'S PROBLEM SOLVING!!  It may not be original or my Idea totally but
