Any suggestions?
Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%. Will allow you to mount a CD image (ISO
or nrg or whatever) to a virtual drive.
More that one, or will every CD image have to have a different
drive letter?
Alcohol mounts one at a time to its virtual drive on whatever letter
you specify when you install it, but remembers previous images in its
main window so it's a breeze to swap them. I use it to "no cd" a
couple of games, and to install backed up software off a dvd image
containing cd images. I've not used Daemon Tools in years so I can't
recall how that works. And I've just remembered that Nero has a disc
image mounter, and I think that one allows multiple images.

It does. Thank you for mentioning that, since I use it all the time
for burning discs. Duh. Didn't even try to find it there (mainly
because someone on another list mentioned something else but as yet
hasn't followed through with a name). And Nero is so easy to use
that it required no attempt to look up anything, unlike Alcohol with
it's optimistically-named "help" file.
Does it matter where I put the ISO files on the HD? There are
several programs (including iirc some different versions of one
program I use for class) which fall into the "CD required to run"
category: is it OK to dump the various images into one folder and
then pick the one or two I need when I need them? And do I have to
restart to change the CD image in the drive or can I do that as
easily as changing physical CDs in the physical drive.
(I have one of those 5 CD changers that Panasonic marketed several
years ago, but they apparently quit making it or updating drivers for
it for Win98 or higher, so it sits in an old box gathering
dust. 'Twas really useful, too . . . )
