I'm wondering if anyone knows of a CDROM emulator that runs on Linux. I want to emulate this configuration:
[CDROM DRIVE]----USB CABLE----[COMPUTER UNDER TEST]
Where [COMPUTER UNDER TEST]
is a computer that boots from a physical CD inserted into the [CDROM DRIVE]
. Only instead of the [CDROM DRIVE]
I want the following configuration:
[CD IMAGE BUILD MACHINE]-----USB CABLE-----[COMPUTER UNDER TEST].
I want to build an ISO image on the [CD IMAGE BUILD MACHINE]
and have some sort of USB CDROM emulator running on it to serve up the ISO image to the [COMPUTER UNDER TEST]
as though it was talking to the [CDROM DRIVE]
. Does this exist? If it does, I can't find it.
I want to do this so I can test out bootable CDs without burning a lot of coasters.
