SATA Boot Drive selector?

[sanzen07]

Just a curiosity here: is there such thing as a SATA hard drive selector similar to the Romtec Trios? (http://www.dslwebserver.com/main/fr_index.html?/main/Romtec-Trios.html) I'd like to have a Windows XP and Windows 7 dual boot but I'd like to have them have no knowledge of each other - i.e. I'd like to be able to press a button on my machine like the Trios to select which OS I want to boot.

You could set the HD priority in BIOS, lots of them allow you to select which HD to boot from. It is a bit of a PITA though.

I do thise with SATA mobile racks, EZ_Swap by Vantec. Under the silver tab is a key switch to turn the drive on/off. I actually have three in place now. The drives are basically the same except for different OS's

They are readily available and the cost depends on how many you install. One rack can also serve several inner trays.
