The Trios II allows you to have up to 3 operating systems on one machine and switch between them with the push of a button. I had heard about the original Trios some time ago and thought, "Sounds cool. Probably doesn't work." Then the Trios II came out and I began hearing good things about it from people I knew and trusted. Since my foray into the Linux world, the first and most popular question I get is, "How do I dual boot with Windows?" My answer was always, if you have to ask, don't do it. Why? Because I've seen even alpha-geeks hose their machine dual booting. Yes, even yours truly has done it. With the exception of my single drive laptop, my solution to this problem has been swappable drive bays. Those of you who have used these know they can be a pain for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is convenience. I never liked giving people who asked me about dual booting a less than satisfactory answer and thought if this thing actually works it will allow me to recommend a safe and easy alternative to dual booting and swappable drive bays. I explained my predicament to the folks at Romtec and they were more than happy to provide the kit for this review. What's Included The Trios II comes with every thing you need to get up and running: Trios II PCI Card Control Panel (w/double sided tape) 4 Data Cables Extended Power Cable Power Splitter User Guide Installation You'll want to plan your installation out ahead of time. How do you want your drives configured. Your supposed to install the PCI card and route the wire to the control panel to a desired location. The PCI card is just mounted in the slot, it doesn't interact with it. The original Trios installed in a drive bay. Romtec elected to change this, probably due to some reviews of that product whining about it "taking up a drive bay". Well, I want it in a drive bay and I don't want it in a PCI slot. So...It's mod time.
