English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Is a CD emulator possible/viable/already available?

When my USB DVD-Drive died on me AGAIN a couple weeks back (man these things are utter junk!) I was thinking almost exactly the same thing, but not quite because of the fact I was thinking USB.

But I was thinking that instead of a USB optical drive it feels like by now we should be able to have something akin to a USB stick that you select which ISO will be the active one. Basically a writeable CD Jukebox on USB. Obviously not really useful for the majority of Amiga or other retro systems.

I never got round to looking to see if such a thing existed but I imagine if it did I'd have come across it somewhere.
