[vcf-midatlantic] disk duplicating machines

[Jason Perkins]

I had a 3.5 PC floppy duplicator for a while. I ended up donating it
to the community college I was attending so they could use it to
format / check floppies for use in the lower level computer classes.
It was easy to set up as the reject slot was on the side of the
machine, and could be arranged to spit the disks right into a trash
can.
