Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain simultaneously the plural sheets of copies by providing one piece of read mechanism and plural pieces of write mechanisms, executing a code conversion and the encipherment of a floppy medium of an optional format and a character code, displaying the contents and confirming them. CONSTITUTION:When a floppy read mechanism is designated by a control switch 4, the data of one record portion of an optional format and a character code are read by executing a physical input and stored in a buffer 2. Also, by the instruction of the switch 4, a code conversion or an encipherment processing is executed by a processing mechanism 3 and the data is returned into the buffer 2 again, and the contents in the buffer 2 can be confirmed by seeing a mechanism 5 for displaying them when they are instructed by the switch 4. Also, when said mechanism is designated, the contents of the buffer 2 of one record portion are written in a floppy medium set to a floppy write mechanism 6.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a floppy disk copying device, and more particularly to a floppy disk copying device for copying a plurality of floppy disks at once.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional floppy disk devices require software to understand and copy the format written on the floppy medium.

If there were multiple 7p Tubi writing mechanisms, the software would have to be rewritten according to the number of units.

Furthermore, it was necessary to develop software each time the writing code (character code) of the floppy medium was converted and encrypted.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, since the above-mentioned 70 disk copying device manufactured by Tomojubei is a general-purpose input/output device for processing data, it is assumed that the format and character code of the floppy medium are known.

Furthermore, there is a limit to the number of floppy disk devices that can be connected to a small computer.

Therefore, for example, when copying a large number of various floppy media for business use, the preparation for copying (researching the one-letter code of the floppy media format and developing software) is difficult. The drawback was that it could not be copied.

[Means for solving problems]

The floppy disk copying device of the present invention can be used in any format 1.
A floppy reading mechanism that reads character coded floppy media into a buffer, a display mechanism that displays the data in the buffer, a code conversion/encryption mechanism that performs code conversion/encryption, and a floppy write that writes to multiple floppy media at the same time. It has a mechanism and a control switch for controlling the whole.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

When designated by the control switch 4, the reading mechanism 7a reads data corresponding to a two-character code of an arbitrary format by physically inputting the data, and stores it in the buffer 2. In accordance with the instruction from the control switch 4, the processing mechanism 3 performs code conversion or encryption processing, and the data is returned to the buffer 2 again. A display mechanism 5 displays the contents of the buffer 2 when instructed by a control switch 4.
You can check the contents by looking at it.

Then, when specified by the control switch 4, the contents of the buffer 2 for one record are written to the floppy medium set in the floppy writing mechanism 6.

The control switch 4 is also provided with an instruction for an operation mode in which this series of operations is performed fully automatically.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The floppy disk copying apparatus of the present invention has one reading mechanism and a plurality of writing mechanisms, so that it can code-convert or encrypt a floppy medium with an arbitrary two-character code and display its contents. This has the effect of allowing you to copy multiple copies at the same time after checking.
