(The  following  product was introduced and demonstrated  at  the 
WAACE DC AtariFest, October 7-8, 1989.)

Are  you tired of running ProCopy or ACopy on your latest $39  or 
$59 program or game only to find that you can't make a backup  of 
your  valuable  software?   Are you so close  to  bankrupcy  from 
buying the latest,  greatest widget for your ST that the idea  of 
forking  out another $200 for a Discovery Cartridge  causes  your 
ulcer to flare up?   Do you like to make FAST copies of disks for 
various  reasons like for user group library  disk  distribution?  
Well, wait no longer, Booby...  DupliTwix Blitz is here!

Magic Media Research in conjuction with 1st STOP Computer Systems 
Ltd is gearing up for production and distribution of the fastest, 
most reasonably priced disk duplicator for the Atari ST available 
anywhere!

                        ABOUT DUPLI-TWIX

                           What is it?
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~
You will get a  cable and a disk and an instruction  sheet.   One 
end of the cable plugs into the printer port on the back of  your 
ST.   The second end plugs into the floppy drive port on the back 
of  your  ST (or the output of your 1st drive in  case  of  early 
520's).   The third end plugs into the input port of your  second 
ST  drive.   Yes,  you MUST have a second drive for DupliTwix  to 
work.

The  software included (.PRG and .ACC versions) is very  easy  to 
use.   Just  indicate  single or double sided disk and  the  copy 
process from drive A:  to drive B:  begins immediately and  takes 
about 15 seconds for a single-sided disk or 30 for a double sided 
disk.   The program and idea come from Germany,  the Mecca of  ST 
owners.  The parts and labor come from Ohio, the Mecca of nothing 
that I know of.


                        What does it do?
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It copies disks.  Fast.  Copy protection and all.  It even copies 
some disks that the Discovery cartridges have trouble with.   Our 
Discovery  cart  took  15 minutes and 40 tries  to  back  up  our 
Populous disk.   It took DupliTwix less than half a minute!   Our 
Discovery cart wouldn't back up our Batman disk at  all.   Dupli-
Twix did it in less time than it takes the ST to format a disk!

Sorry, but you can't put Mac ROMs into DupliTwix (OK, Dave?).


                    What can it be used for?
                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The obvious use is to make back-ups of your valuable disks.   You 
may  pay  anywhere from $30 to $60 or more for that new  game  or 
application  for  your ST.   Along comes a stray  cosmic  ray  or 
magnetic  field or maybe the disk is just  cheap.   Boom,  you've 
lost  a  sector  of your disk making  the  whole  disk  virtually 
unuseable.   You call the manufacturer of the software and  maybe 
you get through,  maybe you don't.   If you're real lucky and get 
through  (or you write a letter),  you find out that for only  an 
extra  $5  or $10,  they'll send you another copy when  they  get 
around to it.  In the meantime, you're just sitting there without 
your  software.   Well,  now you can back up most of those  disks 
without going bankrupt.

The second use for DupliTwix is for software developers,  public-
domain collection distributors,  and user groups.   You can  copy 
a disk with DupliTwix faster that your ST can format a disk.   No 
lie!  Really!  This includes copying the format... you don't have 
to  pre-format  the disks.   This beats CodeCopy hands  down  (no 
offense, Charlie & John)!


                       What about pirates?
                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DupliTwix is not for folks that ruin it for the rest of us.   Any 
tool can be misused.   This tool can be misused.  We're trying to 
figure out how to make copies blow up for pirates.  We create and 
distribute software,  too.   We know how piracy hurts  everybody.  
Please  don't  use any back-up software or hardware  for  illegal 
copying.   Pirates hurt the developers,  distributors, retailers, 
other ST owners, and eventually themselves (the dummies!).
