Overview

The Model 830A Autoloader with DiskDupe™ Duplication Software and your computer provide the ultimate diskette production solution in a reliable, flexible package. The system includes a classic Ashby gravity feed floppy disk autoloader in combination with DiskDupe™ Duplication Software and an Allegro™ High-Speed Floppy Disk Controller. With an endless list of sophisticated floppy disk duplication functions, the 830A/DiskDupe combination is the most powerful option available for the duplication of 3.5" floppies.

Now you can create your masters as usual, but instead of maintaining stacks of floppies as the master source, store the disk images on a local or network hard drive for instant duplication. Need a different serial number encoded on every disk? No problem. How about printing a label for each disk with that same serial number (as well as, say, a disk title) at the same time? Load up your printer with some fanfold labels and you're there. Put the host computer in Network Server mode and send jobs to it from anywhere on the LAN.  The possibilities go on and on...
