I have a boxed original of Essential Data Duplicator 4 Plus which
comes with a small card.  The box says:

    'Essential Data Duplicator, EDD version 4 PLUS is the most
     powerful software/hardware package available for making back up
     copies of "uncopyable" or "copy-protected" disks.  This PLUS
     version of EDD is mainly aimed at the DEDICATED user, and
     contains a specially designed hardware card which allows EDD to
     copy EVERY bit of information from each track accurately.  You
     can bet that if EDD 4 PLUS can't copy it, nothing will!'

The card looks like a small Disk ][ controller and I have yet to try
it.  I got it a couple years ago with a large shipment I got from a
guy who was getting rid of all his Apple II stuff.
