I can do a quick video if u want but it's really more for the wow factor. It's three IDE drives stacked ontop of each other and duct taped to the top of an old early 2000,s drive bay mountable Romtec switcher. It's more form than function since the Romtec is designed to only switch ide drives when powered off. I guess this was a safety function that would prevent damage to your drives or computer. Anyway I doubt that HDB-DOS would allow hot swapping of hard drives anyway. I really don't want to risk my computer by trying. Anyway I could be wrong about that.
