That is pretty slick.
I recently picked up a drive enclosure which does something similar. It is a Zalman VE200 and it will allow you to choose which ISO is loaded into the cdrom emulator (via a hardware rocker switch). It is a usb or esata device and the emulated cd/dvd shows up as a device and is bootable.
A pretty slick device but not as 'convenient' as a usb stick that takes care of the bootloader/choice issue.
