Copy Clone is one of those programs I found an ad for but never heard of. I also can’t find a copy of it. Highlights are that it can copy a protected disk in 5 minutes. Works with over 80% of the software. Also will not damage your disk drive. Also included over 20 utilities like: Disk drive analysis, 30 second format, disk editior..
Snapshot 64 was initial hardware that later turned into the Super Snapshot cartridge.

Smart Cart claims to be able to copy all C64 programs AND cartridges.
Looks like this item would plug into your C64 and had a slot to be able to plug a cartridge into it also. Seems like this would be a very rare find if you have one.
The Double barreled Nibbler! This software also included 32 Kracker Jax parameters. Also claims to copy Rapidlok programs automatically!
The Shadow was sold my Megasoft in 1985-86. This was a hardware/software combination. Claiming a 99.9% effectiveness.There was also a GT Package that you would install in your 1541 to display the Track and Sector, very much like an Indus GT disk drive. Also added a reset switch and a device number change. I am not sure how you installed this.
From old Usenet postings it seems that there was questions on if this hardware actually worked or not. Megasoft was rumored to spend $400,000 on advertising for this produce. Also rumored that Megasoft went out of business because of this? Can anyone confirm or deny these rumors?

THE SOFTWARE DIRECTORY:
If you noticed from the screen shot below, Renegade looked like Maverick. This is because Renegade was renamed to Maverick. This was a very good copier in 1988 and could copy the Electronic Arts stuff. Rapidlok, Geos disk and came with 300 parameters to unprotect many disk. I should add that Parameters also would remove those super annoying manual or codewheel look ups. Anytime I had a game that used those, the first thing I always wanted to do was to remove the protection check. Most of the time I could do that with my Isepic or Snapshot cartridge. If not I would find a parameter to do that.
I heard: Renegade was Sued by Taito America for using their game name of Renegade, so the name change to Maverick
