DiskLock 4.6.5

mrdav — Sat, 26 May 2012 05:01:51 +0000

Application file:

disklock_4.6.5.img_.sit

DiskLock is a security package to protect your files from unauthorized users and accidental erasure.
It was acquired by Power On from Symantec in 1999.

Compatibility:

This version supports Macintosh OS Standard disks (HFS) and Macintosh OS Extended disks (HFS+), all versions of the Mac OS from 7.0.0 to 9.1, and Macintoshes and clones from the Macintosh SE to the latest models (in 2000) from Apple.

DiskLock is NOT COMPATIBLE with OS X. If OS X is installed on the hard drive, do not install DiskLock onto the drive, not even in a separate partition. In other words, OS X and DiskLock should not both be installed on a hard drive at the same time.

Rewind 1.2

mrdav — Fri, 25 May 2012 12:29:59 +0000

Application file:

rewind_1.2.img_.sit

Edited from the ReadMe file:
Rewind provides the ability to recover from errors or accidental data loss, (except hardware failure) and to revive frozen systems. It allows you to restore overwritten or trashed files, restore files damaged when your computer crashes, uninstall applications or updates, recover previous versions of a file, and boot a "crashed" system from your hard drive without a system or utility CD.

MacWorld magazine did not give a particularly positive review of this product.
See http://www.macworld.com/article/1002612/rewind.html

Compatibility:

Not compatible with OS X or with OS X Classic mode. The installer crashed part way through when I tried to run it in System 9.2.2 on a PPC. Requires System 8.1 or newer, 68040 or PPC
