Virtual CD-ROM switching utilities are programs to disable the virtual CD-ROM drive found on many devices. A virtual CD-ROM switching utility is a mode switching tool for controlling "flip flop" USB gear. Several new USB devices have their Microsoft Windows device drivers on board; when plugged in for the first time they act like a USB flash drive and start installing the device driver from there.After that this device driver switches the mode internally, the storage device vanishes , and a new device shows up. The Wireless WAN gear maker Option calls that feature "ZeroCD ". With USB sniffing programs and libusb it is possible to eavesdrop the communication of the MS Windows device driver, to isolate the command or action that does the switching and to reproduce the same thing under the rule of Linux or the BSD variants.
