It's called "autoblack". It comes in several forms, one of which is placed in
the system folder, renamed to "Macsbug" and loads on boot. As far as I know,
it is in the public domain.

I got a version from the Boston Computer Society that was supposed to work with
the Mac II, but my machine hung when I tried to boot. It seems to work perfectlyhowever with 128K ROM Macs (I haven't tried it with an SE...)
