Duet Station duplicates software from one master to two target drives. Designed for small office, corporate, engineering and in-field service environments, Duet Station offers a low-cost, high performance duplication solution to disk copying. For example, the system copies the entire 50MB Windows 95 operating system to two drives in 33 seconds. Duet Station also supports Windows 95’s FAT 32 file protocol for long filenames.

Track-by-track or file-by-file copy modes allow the user the ability to copy all major PC operating systems. Users may chose whole or partial drive copying for greater flexibility and efficiency.

Duet Station handles both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor hard disk drives. It supports Ultra ATA/EIDE/Fast ATA-2 and other drive speed protocols. It also provides LBA/normal mode for matching the widest capacity range of drives.

Users simply connect the master and target drives to cables, plug in a monitor and keyboard and turn the system on. A menu-driven software interface directs the entire disk data formatting and duplication process. Error logging and system monitoring is also performed. A user hot key permits changing drives between batches without restarting the system. Two drive utilities scan the data tracks to allow partial drive copying for more efficient operation. Duet Station is offered with a two-year limited warranty. Cables for 3.5-inch drives are included. Duet Station requires a minimal PCI desktop computer with floppy disk, 1MB memory, keyboard and monitor. Optional adapters for 2.5"-inch drives.
