One hard disk would be connected at a time, but that would be nice to be able to connect and disconnect the disks via software. Have you heard of some kind of USB disk jukebox? Have you heard of some kind of USB switch that allows to connect several devices to one PC, but enabling and disabling each port individually, via software? Bests, Olivier
