Review of the ZuluIDE and PicoIDE optical drive emulators! These awesome ODEs can replace your old CD/DVD-ROM drive with a MicroSD card solution for loading ISOs, including support for Redbook CD digital audio! Among other features between the two, like WiFi, virtual hard disks, and Iomega ZIP drive emulation.
