Do you work and play on the same computer? Ever fear accidentally messing up your work ? The solution would be to have two physical computers, one for work, one for play. Instead of two computers, with this switch you can physically separate your work and play on one computer. This switch makes it impossible to spread a virus , or reveal personal items such as ones internet history or saved photographs to work. This particular switch is obsolete, but the principal can still be applied to today's computer (hard drives). Note: The need of a second hard drive is necessary in addition to the switch. Cost of a hard drive is less than 0.00, or you can use a hard drive you already have. I built a switch for the IDE channel of the computer. Five switch's (eight contacts each)for the 40 connections, the wire hanging in back went to the MB, the two empty slots went to individual hard drives. This would guarantee no contamination between drives if one had a virus, the second was physically not connected to the computer. Switching has to be done with the power off, and full on and full off of the five switches has to be certain. Worked well with short IDE cables. It is now obsolete as it can only transfer ATA33 reliably. Wiring was a nightmare. Any questions post comment here or markecc123(dot)blogspot(dot)com. Thanks to Luigi for cutting the piece of wood to fit exactly in the CD-ROM tray.
