DiskMaker

High-Speed Disk Duplication Application

DiskMaker_Icon
DiskMaker was the fastest disk duplication software for NEXTSTEP. With it you could mass duplicate disks faster than possible with standard manual methods. DiskMaker could duplicate disks four to nine times faster than by hand. (Benchmarks were performed on NeXT computers. Performance on Intel configurations varies.)

Manual duplication could take anywhere from 4.3 to 9 minutes per disk, depending on the sizes of tiles and oilier factors. DiskMaker reduced this task to about 1 minute. Duplication times are linear and independent of the number of files on the disk.

Manually duplicating ten 2.88MB ED disks normally took anywhere from 43 to 90 minutes depending on the sizes of files and other criteria. With DiskMaker you could reduce this task to 10 minutes (20 minutes if also performing a verification pass). Duplication times are linear and independent of the number of files in the disk.

DiskMaker supported industry standard 720KB, 1.4MB and 2.88MB density disks. Its powerful verification technology ensured that defective media is not distributed to your customers. Disk duplication took under one minute regardless of file sizes or disk density. DiskMaker would automatically format the disk (if needed), name it and fill it up for you in a single step.

DiskMaker was able to reuse low-level disk formats. Readily available preformacted DOS disks could be used to build NeXTStep volumes in a fraction of the time.

Features:

  • Disk images were saved on disk allowing you to archive your releases.
  • Disk duplication and formatting were performed in the background, freeing your computer to do other things.
  • 32-bit checksums provided you with reassurance that your copies match the original disk bit by bit.
  • DiskMaker was able to reuse low-level disk formats. Pre-formatted DOS disks could be used to build NEXTSTEP volumes in a fraction of the time.
