Hardware DiskDupe does/doesn't work with

DiskDupe works with:
- IBM Compatibles and PS/2's
- ArcNet, Novell, and Lantastic networks.

DiskDupe AutoPro works with autoloaders from:
Mountain, Trace Mountain, MissionSix, Champion Duplicators(Ventuno), Rimage, Ashby, Applied Data Corporation(CopyMaker), Costas, Mediaform(Genesis), and Boland Developments.

DiskDupe AutoPro works with all floppy disk drives and all controllers. This includes regular, double speed(2X), simultaneous double sided(SDS) and double speed simultaneous double sided(2XSDS) drives.

DiskDupe doesn't work with:

  • Tandy 1000. Gives "initial seek" error. Runs on other Tandy machines.
  • Compaq 286 Deskpro might have problems with 1.4Mb_2x drives. Some Compaq 486 66's cause DMA conflicts with the floppy controllers that cause DiskDupe to report "Error 301, Bad Compare". In this case if you are using a secondary controller then try moving its DMA channel from DMA 2 to DMA 1.
  • Old XT's can't have secondary controllers and will only support low density drives.
  • DD won't work with Adaptek SCSI controller 1542B or 1542C. Reports error 205 sporadically. Need to disable its floppy controller and install a CompatiCard IV floppy controller.
  • Won't work with IBM external drives or external floppy drives that connect to the parallel port like Micro Solutions BackPak.
  • Computers with the microchannel bus (some PS/2's) cannot accept secondary controllers.

DiskDupe AutoPro does not work with autoloaders from the following manufacturers:
DataPath, CopyMaster(CopyBox), Victory. Also certain Mountain loaders that use a parallel interface instead of a serial interface.
