There is a company in Oakland Caifornia I believe called "Trace" 
they make a hardware box that will copy any disk, quickly too!
It has replaceable heads that will let you copy 5.25" or 3.5" disks
and it will make exact copies at a rate of over 100/hour! That is
less than a minute a disk. Wouldn't you like to have one of these
puppies at your next "user" group meeting! It is a bit pricey, the
low end model costs about $5,000 but if you sold the copies of the
disks you made, lets see ...  at $5 a copy, somewhere there was a 
message about disks going for $.62/disk that's $4.36 profit, say 
$.06 for a label you could pay off the cost with only 1163 disks! 
And at 100/hr you could do this in just under 12 hours! Such a deal. 
You could even make copies of your friend's disks for them. You 
never know when you might need 20 or 30 backups of "Shadow of the Beast."

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
