Nexcopy Corporation unveiled its latest range of flash memory duplication systems, introducing the CF Duplicator 150PC, 300PC, and 450PC models. These PC-based solutions offer an ideal method for efficiently handling bulk data loading onto Compact Flash cards.
Nexcopy’s CF duplication systems boast unique features designed to streamline data loading tasks. For instance, users can easily assign unique files to each CF card using the Unique Data Copy function. Additionally, bootable Compact Flash cards can be copied effortlessly using the bit-for-bit Short Image copy function. This function ensures that only the data clusters used on the CF card are copied to the target devices, rather than the entire contents.
Moreover, Nexcopy offers a Full Image copy function for scenarios where it is required. This feature proves beneficial for Ext2 or Ext3 Linux formats, where files could potentially reside in any sector of the CF media.
Nexcopy Inc.’s CF Duplicator line begins with the CF150PC model priced at $1,200, with an upgrade path available to the 30-port and 45-port systems. Thus, the CF Duplicator boasts a modular design.
Nexcopy also highlights the flexibility to mix and match duplicator boxes. This enables users to copy to SD media, CF media, and USB sticks simultaneously through a single software interface, providing convenience and efficiency.
The Drive Manager software offers six copy modes to cater to various user needs. These modes include:

CompactFlash (CF) cards serve various purposes, primarily for storing digital data in a myriad of devices requiring high-capacity and high-performance storage solutions. Although their popularity has somewhat diminished with the rise of other storage formats like SD cards and SSDs, CF cards find utility in diverse applications, including:
Digital Cameras: CF cards have long been the choice of professional photographers and enthusiasts, used in digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and high-end digital cameras. Their ample storage capacities and rapid read/write speeds make them suitable for capturing high-resolution images and recording high-definition video.
Video Cameras and Camcorders: CF cards are commonplace in professional video cameras and camcorders, facilitating the recording of high-quality video footage. Their swift data transfer rates and reliability make them perfect for capturing high-definition video in demanding production environments.
Embedded Systems and Industrial Applications: CF cards find frequent use in embedded systems, industrial computers, and electronic devices necessitating robust and dependable storage solutions. Their resilience, generous storage capacities, and resistance to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures render them fitting for use in harsh operating conditions.
Data Storage and Transfer: CF cards are employed for general-purpose data storage and transfer across various devices, including computers, laptops, digital audio recorders, and handheld devices. They can store documents, music, videos, software, and other digital files.
Gaming Consoles and Arcade Machines: CF cards have been integrated into certain gaming consoles, arcade machines, and gaming peripherals for storing game data, firmware updates, and other content. While not as prevalent as SD cards or internal storage, CF cards have carved out niche applications in select gaming systems.
Medical Devices and Equipment: CF cards find utility in medical devices and equipment, such as medical imaging devices, patient monitoring systems, and diagnostic equipment. Their reliability, compatibility, and storage capacity render them suitable for storing medical data and images.
Data Recovery and Forensics: CF cards are occasionally employed in data recovery and forensic applications, where they may be used to salvage data from damaged or corrupted storage media, scrutinize digital evidence, or conduct forensic inquiries.

USB Voltage: – Supplied voltage by a host or a powered hub ports is between 4.75 V and 5.25 V. – Maximum voltage drop for bus-powered hubs is 0.35 V from it’s host or hub to the hubs output port. – All hubs and functions must be able to send configuration data at 4.4 V, but only low-power functions need to be working at this voltage. – Normal operational voltage for functions is minimum 4.75 V. Power usage: -Bus-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA at power up and 500 mA normally. -Self-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA, must supply 500 mA to each port. -Low power, bus-powered functions: Draw Max 100 mA. -High power, bus-powered functions: Self-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA, must supply 500 mA to each port. -Self-powered functions: Draw Max 100 mA.I believe something more happened and the parent is trying to cover something up. A better explanation is the laptop was plugged into the wall and the child pulled the power cord out of the laptop and put it into her mouth, meanwhile the mother was far away doing something else [say cooking dinner].

Windows XP Home edition requires a different method to turn off the USB autoplay function than XP Professional [which we reported on earlier].
It’s not difficult to turn off the USB autoplay, just a couple easy steps.
Note:Â We are going into the Registry so be careful not to do anything other than what we suggest.
Got to>Â START > RUN > type “regedit“
Navegate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER
+ software
+ Microsoft
+ Windows
+ CurrentVersion
+ Policies
+ Explorer
**The “+” are the registry hives you must expand.
Now click the + Explorer directory just once so it is blue. On the right side you will see “NoDriveTrypeAutoRun“
Right click that and Select “Modify“
Here you most likely have b5 listed in the “Value data” field. Simply replace that value with 95.
Click OK.
Close out of the Registry and reboot your machine. Done!

Actor Morgan Freeman and his production company Digiboo are trying to break ground with sales and distribution of movies via USB. We love the idea!
USB Movie sticks might become a thing of the future as Digiboo plans to launch over 100 kiosks in Hollywood Video stores next year; the first will roll out in January. People will be able to plug a USB device into the kiosk, download movies to rent or own, and then plug them in to any USB 2.0 or 3.0-compatible devices.
Before you ask, yes, DRM is layered into the movie content so put away your ideas of bit-for-bit USB copies to pirate your movies. However, you now own the content on a portable device which will pug into just about anything including xBox or game consoles, cars, computers and set top boxes. No word on how transferable the format will be to get the rented video from USB to something like a iPhone or PDA for portable playback.
About two years ago we started reporting on the USB music albums and now it appears we’ll see more articles about USB movie sticks.

Did you know Windows can make over 260 registry entries with a single enumeration of a USB stick? This means for those with multiple flash drives, your registry will get extremely cluttered and bogged down.
With flash drives dirt cheap these days, you’ll find at least a couple dozen going into your computer throughout the year. That would be over 6,240 registry entries.
USB Scrub is a free utility from Nexcopy which performs a deep cleaning of those unused drivers and registry edits.
We gave USB Scrub a try, and it worked great. We went from enumerating a single USB stick in 45 seconds to enumerating that stick in less than 12 seconds.
In addition, if you have a USB stick that doesn’t perform correctly or the Windows OS doesn’t see it, chances are the USB Scrub will clear up those problems and your drive will work once again. This is because a registry entry can become corrupt, and simply clearing it out will resolve your issue.
So let’s take a closer look.
Using RegShot (a free application which takes a snapshot before and after an event and compares only the changed registry values), I took a snapshot before and after a USB stick was connected and ejected. The result was this:
Here is a snapshot. Click the image to get the full text file:
Next, I took a snapshot of the registry before a stick was connected, then ran USB Scrub, then took the second registry snapshot. This is what I got:
Clearly we have a big difference. Clearly we have a great cleaning tool for USB devices in Windows.
If you have a USB flash drive not working correctly, a slow computer, or you are a heavy user of removable drives, give USB Scrub a try. You’ll see a noticeable difference in USB enumeration.
As a closing note, when the enumeration speed went from 45 seconds to 12 seconds, USB Scrub reported that it cleared over 9,000 registry entries.
USB Scrub is a free utility. There is no malware or spyware.
Unfortunately, USB Scrub only supported Windows XP in the past. The maker, Nexcopy, has now updated support for Windows 7 and Windows 10. (Does not support Windows 8.)
UPDATE: Download link now supports Windows 7 and Windows 10 (32/64bit).
