Ok, Dog Cow, give me the link to upload. FTP oh Hotline or whatever.

This is what I have from FWB from that era:

HDT™ 2.5 Installer

HDT™ 2.5->2.5.2 Updater

HDT™ 2.5.X->2.5.3 Updater

plus

“Unlock Volume” Application

Author: FWB, Inc.

Needs: System 7.5.2, HDT/HDT*PE/RTK v.1.7.5c or earlier

ATTENTION SYSTEM 7.5.2 OWNERS:

Versions 1.7.5c and earlier of Hard Disk ToolKit, RAID ToolKit and Hard Disk ToolKit Personal Edition currently have a known incompatibility with Apple's new Drive Setup software. This Drive Setup software is only available as part of System 7.5.2.

PROBLEM:

After working on your hard drive with with FWB’s HDT Primer, you find that the drive has become “locked” (write-protected). This prevents users from writing data to the disk. All data on the disk should remain safe and unaffected.

This problem ONLY occurs on drives originally configured with Apple’s Drive Setup utility (which comes with System 7.5.2).

SOLUTION:

Boot from a drive other than the locked drive, then unlock the drive using Drive Setup.

* HOWEVER, if virtual memory was on at the time of locking, neither Apple's Drive Setup software, nor FWB's software, can unlock the disk. This problem is due to changes in Apple's new driver, not supported by FWB's current version of software.

If you are not able to unlock the drive with Apple’s Drive Setup, run the enclosed application to unlock any volumes that have been inadvertently locked. Then install FWB's driver on the Apple Drive to eliminate the problem from occurring in the future.
