Ultra Copy II & Manual
UltraCopy II was the sequel to the original Ultracopy 64.
There are two copy modes: NORMAL SCAN and then DEEP SCAN
NORMAL SCAN: Could copy a protected disk in 8 minutes with 4 swaps. This could copy extra sectors, misnumbered tracks and sectors, format errors, data errors and some half tracks.
DEEP SCAN: You used this if Normal scan didn’t work. This one took 12 minutes with 5 disk swaps. It added the ability to copy hidden data in track gaps, true half tracks, data above track 35.

The Story of FCopy for the C64
This is a very interesting article on the FCopy program which was the first to take the time to top copy a C64 disk from 25 minutes to 8 minutes and then to 4.5 minutes.
It’s a great read.
