>>This goes right along with Syed Iftikar's strategy--actually replacing the HARD DRIVE in a computer with an ORB Drive...this way, you can have hard drive performance (or even better) and be able to swap out drives with ease. You can have different bootable OS's on each ORB disk..Windows2000 on one, Linux on another, etc. Syed has already lined up Asian computer-maker ProView to replace internal hard drives with ORBS. << Rocky - That idea has been discussed here, long ago. You could have a PC without any fixed storage, and yes, you could then boot different operating systems by swapping disks. However, you couldn't swap disks while running, since the system and swap files must be accessible at all times. That would mean that you would be limited to the space available on one disk, unless you had more than one Jaz or Orb drive. I'm sure Mr. Iftikar isn't pinning his hopes on replacing the primary hard drives in computers. - Allen
