The Model 830A Autoloader with DiskDupe™ Duplication Software and your computer provide the ultimate diskette production solution in a reliable, flexible package. The 830A has all the power and reliability of the easy to use 800M Standalone Duplicators, but with a PC as a host, the 830A is like a duplicator on steroids! You can create your masters as usual, but instead of using stacks of floppies as the home for all that information, store them on a local or network hard drive for instant replication. 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...
