Re: Testing A11y

There might be another relatively inexpensive alternative.  Drive sleds.
 Each sled holds a different disk drive.  You have one drive sled holder 
installed in the computer and when you want to switch operating systems, 
you just find the right drive sled insert lock in with the key and boot 
the machine into the operating system on that hard drive.  From what I've 
been told drive sleds can be purchased for about $40.00 each and the price 
of hard drives has declined.  I now use drive sleds for IDE disks but 
don't know if ones are available for sata but think those are available.
