I believe MacSnoop will do this.  There is a new Mac II compatible version
which has come out in the past 2 months.  It allows DISK editing.  It takes
the place of FEDIT which went commericial.

With CMS HDs, you get a ZapPRAM util which clears parameter ram (the part
of ram that gets clobbered).  However, you can do this yourself by holding
down shift-opt-cmd and choosing the control panel from the apple menu.
The _real_ fix is an INIT that you put in your system file that keeps the
AUX part of PRAM (so I've heard) from clobbering your disk stuff after bombs.
I don't know what it does, but it works like a charm!  It's on MACSERVE@PUCC
and info-mac at sumex.  I posted it to comp.binaries.mac, but I don't know if it got put up yet.

I think the latest version of MacKermit is not fully debugged, and I don't know
if it is Mac II compatible.  To do simple file xfers with kermit, use any
decent commerical comm pkg, and it'll have kermit.  I use and love VersaTerm,
which has a great VT100 emulatiobn to boot.

I _think_ that there is some kind of grappler+ interface for the mac that has
HPxxxjet drivers with it.

LightSpeedC by Think technologies.  It is absolutely WONDERFUL!  Fast program
turnaround and an enjoyable integrated environment.  A new upgrade (3.0) will
be out soom with source-level debugger and "other goodies."
