Mount Multiple Virtual Drives?

I'd like to be able to mount multiple ISO images in XP on Parallels on a Macbook Core2Duo. Since the built in "Devices" > "Cdrom" > "Connect Image..." only allows one image at a time is there a workround? I tried using Alcohol120 but I kept getting an error about "Number of Devices Invalid" when attempting to connect an ISO...which I pretty much expected.

Any ideas, or should I post this in the "wishlist"?

ps The new build 3188 works perfectly for me after rebooting OsX and updating XP's Parallel Tools :)
 
If you want to mouont multiple ISO images at the same time, assuming you have only one virtual hard disk, you can have up to 3 virtual DVD/CD-ROM devices, each points to an ISO image. Just click the Add... button from the VM Configuration to add additional CD-ROM before you start the VM.

If you just want to switch ISO image associated with a virtual CD-ROM, you can simply click the CD-ROM icon at the bottom of a VM window and click "Connect Image..." from the drop down to choose a different ISO image. You can do this at run time, no need to shut down the VM.
