ABSTRACT:
A system for facilitating the mass production of computer software on a magnetic storage medium. The system includes a master media transport system including means for reading data from a moving member, and a large plurality of slave media transport systems, including means for writing data on the media being transported by the plural slaves. A communications link couples the master to all of the slaves and the master provides a synchronizing signal to each of the plural slaves. Control means are provided in each of the slaves to cause the movement of the media at each of the slaves to be in precise synchronism with the movement of the medium at the master transport. Once synchronization is achieved, the data is read from the master medium and broadcasts to each of the slaves simultaneously for recording at predetermined desired locations on the media.
