If I were to build a diskette copier today I would us some kind of
magnetic flux reader/writer (like the greaseweazle).
That way it is format agnostic. It can copy almost any disk that can
be read.
I have a script for my greaseweazle that will copy any 8" diskette (mine
is setup for 8" RX02 diskettes). Granted, it copies by saving the image
to disk and then writing it back out. This allows the use of either 1
single disk system or the ability to make multiple copies without having
to re-read the source diskette.

copyright techniques might be interesting to a hardcore crowd. If just
archiving, I also think that would be useful to the public.
I only saw cd/dvd based systems and harddisk duplicators. Newer stuff
though, not what I would consider vintage.
