Original media in Disk Copy 4.2 archive and compressed with Stuffit 3.5 for backwards compatibility. Screenshots are from my v1.5 media, although the v1.6 media was archived before I lost the original disks... the 1.5 disks survived. The SN in pic 2 above should also work with v1.6
Added scanned Release Notes for v1.6 as PDF manual, above.
CompatibilityArchitecture: 68k PPC
I strongly recommend not using this software on Mac OS 8.1 or later and HFS+ drives.
Not useful for emulators except for Lauri Pesonen's Windows port of Basilisk II and physical SCSI hard drives on the Windows box.

@GuyWithGuitars: Glad that you found this helpful. But this version of HDT does support larger volumes than 230MB - In its Release Notes (which I will scan and upload to this page), it mentions 4 GB volumes, so I'm guessing there must have been some issue that prevented you from making full use of the drive.
The release notes also state: "On drives of greater than 1GB capacity, the driver partition must reside in the first 1 GB of disk space or else the Macintosh cannot load it. Check the ordered list in the Partition Directory Window and ensure that this is true". - Also indicating that drive partitions greater than 230 MB are supported.
Many, many thanks for this upload. I acquired a 9gb SCSI external HDD (m2115) and could not for the life of me done without this. I was able to partition the disk to 230mb (who cares about the other 8+gb!) for use on my System 6-7 Macs. Much obliged!
