In one of the users groups I was in back in the day, they’d made a all in one case out of some metal braces and some wood panels to house the duplikator, so all on needed to do was hook up a monitor and away you went. It was used as a mass backup machine, as it would load a full disk in, and then copy back as many copies as were needed.
Will it copy an exact 1541 disk to a CMD HD 1541 partition?
Thank you so much
