That's the easy part, could have been done in a few hours if you were on it hard. But what about the second, and certainly more important text...
"An analogous system can be created and maintained in a digital environment, and probably more easily. However, if you do choose the digital process, keep the records on a stand-alone PC that is not connected to your network, and which does not contain any information other than that required for 2257 compliance.
This will meet the segregation requirement of 28 C.F.R. 75.2(e), and will also ensure that inspection of your records and/or seizure of your 2257 records does not interfere with your business operations."
