Microboards Technology LLC announced today that its new Orbit II CD-Recordable office copier is now shipping. The unit is the first product designed and manufactured at the company's new Manufacturing division in Livermore, Calif.
The Orbit II features automatic loading of up to 50 CD-Recordable discs through Microboards' patented Singulator feeding mechanism. A simple menu-driven front interface directs even the most novice user easily through the copying process. Menu selections include variable speed recording from 1x to 16x and multiple copy modes, including Copy CD-to-CD, Compare CD-to-CD, or Copy and Compare. The ``Compare'' function verifies that a true copy has been performed from the master disc.
``Our vision of the Orbit II was that of an office appliance,'' said Chuck Alcon Jr., Vice President of New Business Development at Microboards. ``However, the unit is practical for technical environments as well. The attractive cover belies an internally ruggedised mechanism, capable of loading & recording discs at the fastest speed available on the market.''
The Orbit II has a list price of $3,195 and will be available through Microboards' authorized resellers and integrators
