Useful Gadget of the Week : iodd 2501 Portable Virtual ROM

[Mark McCall <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Like us, many of you have no doubt gathered up a collection of tools
and software over the years to help you set up your computers.  We've
been hearing great things about this little device from the guys in
our IRC channel and its something you might like to add to your kit.
The iodd 2501 is a caddy for a 2.5" SATA hard drive - but with a
difference.  Connecting via USB or eSATA the unit is automatically
detected as both a Mass Storage Device and an External Optical Drive.
This allows you to add all your favourite OS's as ISO files and using
it's built in OLED display choose the one you want to install. You'll
never have to hunt around for an install CD again or write a disc.
It's also easy to boot and install to devices like netbooks which have
no optical drive, plus you can use it as a regular drive caddy for
backups etc too....
