Fantastic stuff! But... you only select single-disk demos and games? What about programs that say "insert disk 2" but do not support a 2nd drive? How to put in "disk 2" without external buttons?
would it be feasible to dump your entire games collection onto this? how well does the interface handle with a huge amount of disk images? are there shortcuts to navigate down an entire page at once? an option to jump to a particular letter?
can you switch disk images to write protect / enable mode?
WOW... thats fantastic! nicely done, are these units availiable anywhere and what happens if for instance you have a 3 disc game that supports 2 drives, like IT CAME FROM THE DESERT... is it posible to switch discs around without resetting/ loading up the menu? Im also thinking of save disks needing swapping and the likes. Sorry if im being stupid...I couldnt tell from this short vid

Of course you can use multidisk games/demos ! Have a look to the HxC Floppy Emulator project page.

How would this device go on a Amiga 1000 ? Could it boot a kickstart disc off the SD card and then boot into that menu ?
