Hello All,

I am looking for an internal IDE switch for switching more then one hard
drive into an IDE cable at different times. Any help would be very appreciated.
This can be an A-B switch, A-B-C switch or A-B-C-D switch . Active switch
would be nice, but I know the price can be prohibitive.

Thanks...

There are devices which let you have multiple hard drives on one controller (3 at most I believe) and select which one to boot from, but I dont think they exist so you can change while the machine is booted. Not in PATA format anyway.

I beg to differ with you, ddp.....

Check http://www.industechnologies.com/prod.html

These have been around for some time now, we own a couple of them.
