In my quest to make the ultimate bootable USB Drive, to boot multiple ISO's from a single USB device and that can boot both Linux and Windows 7/Window 10 ISO for installation. I found a number of issues getting it to work with all my desired ISO's. I tried tools Like Yumi, MultiBootUSB, SARDU and even manually creating a GRUB2EUFI USB.
Then I found out about some hardware devices that emulate a DVD/CD drive on PC's, including during boot. Such as the IODD 2531 and the Zalman ZM-VE350. You copy all your ISO's to the HDD, select which ISO you want to mount using the buttons and screen on the device and your done!
However some of these devices have been difficult to track down. So I thought if there was a smaller or DIY option, turns out there is! You can use a RaspberryPi Zero to do the same thing. All thanks this person on GitHub: https://github.com/tjmnmk/gadget_cdrom

Now, I have not tested this yet, but the video looks promising and I will be doing a project on it. I will take notes and pictures and be sure to post about it on here. If you end up doing the project before me, post in the comments and let me know how it went.
