Is there an analogue of Zalman ZM-VE300/200SE in the form of a UBS flash drive to emulate a virtual optical drive?
I think many are aware of the existence of wonderful devices Zalman ZM-VE300 / 200SE. I have a lot of CD / DVD images stored on my Zalman ZM-VE200SE for installing the OS, selecting the image with a rocker on the side of the device. Very convenient, I threw the *.ISO file into the _ISO folder and you can boot using this image.
Now there was a desire to change it to a multiboot flash drive, so that it would be just as convenient. That is, I simply copied the disk image to the root of the flash drive or a special folder and you can choose from what to boot, without dancing with a tambourine and editing files. Does such a device exist?
I read the articles below, but they all contain unacceptable cons:

there is this:
isostick is a microSD card reader - a CD drive emulator.
the price in the states is $99

here, by the way, is a link from Habr, a little outdated (the device is already sold in full retail):

The device suits everyone, except for the dimensions and the ever-losing USB cord.
Cons:
1. You need to rewrite the entire flash drive when adding / removing some kind of image ...
2. habrahabr.ru/post/98954 it’s not clear how you can keep several versions of the same type distributions on a flash drive :(
3. habrahabr.ru/post/124482 you can keep several versions of *nix system distributions on a flash drive, but it will require dancing with a tambourine for the Windows family. :(
4. habrahabr.ru/post/202378 availability of White-list
Soldering iron. A couple of adapters. Bulgarian. And a new flash drive. And your zalman will lose weight in size. And it will be possible to poke it directly into usb. Haven't thought about this?
such sarcasm is not appropriate ...
my hands are straight, I'm friends with a soldering iron, but Zalman is imprisoned for 2.5 "SATA and it is unlikely that it will turn out to be a device with dimensions of 0.5 * 1 * 5cm like a flash drive
Something came across on the topic of flashing controllers of flash drives, it seems to be possible
