Tigerdirect.com is where I learned of the devices and they do offer
international sales by phone only:

but there appear to added charges, and questionable warranties, etc.
Another hardware/multi-boot option for this software list, (sorry),
would be removable hard drive caddies. Maybe they are available there
in NZ.
I didn't like the NickLock after reading Tom's Hardware review of it
http://www4.tomshardware.com/storage/01q3/010727/index.html
where it mentions that it only switches the master jumpers, leaving the
"unselected" hd with no jumper selected. Most hd's will default to master
or single if no jumper is selected, according to Tom's. I question its
claim to make the unselected hd "safe" from users of the selected drive.
