SATA HDD Selector (do they exist?)
I'm looking for a hardware solution to allow two seperate internal SATA drives to both boot as master (similar to ROMtec's TRIOS IDE drive selector). Problem is, I can't seem to find any. So I'm not even sure if they exist. If anyone knows of any I'd appreciate a quick post.

There is no such thing as master/slave on SATA.
Please tell us what problem you're trying to solve there.

There's no real "problem" persay, I just want to house several SATA drives in a single system and be able to choose which one to boot from.
Looks like I found what I needed though:

Ah bull ... you just need a mainboard that has an "instant" boot menu. Most of them have these days - just press F8 (or whatever it says to press) for a one-shot menu that lets you choose your boot drive.
These switchers, IDE or SATA, are just a crutch for the lack of this capability. We have 2007, use what's been made for the task
