In both cases the CD-ROM drive is unusable, or you'll need two CD-ROM
drives. I know there are certain circumstances where you would want to
use such a setup, but for a regular but old computer (which is the main
target for RULE) I don't think these setups are nice to use. Don't get
me wrong, I don't have anything against developing such solutions, I
just see little use for them.
