To make 800k copies of copy protected software you have to use Copy MacII's hard
disk copy program and ext drive. Format a 800k disk and put a system folder on
it. Put this disk in your external drive. Start hard copy and put the protected
disk you wish to copy in the internal drive.
When asked where to copy, you select the disk in the external drive and the
program will copy the entire copy protected disk minus its system folder onto
your 800k external which it thinks is a hard disk. 

This will only work with certain copy protected programs. I know of no other way unless Copy Mac II has come out with a newer versionay
unless Copy Mac II has come out with a newer version which will take a 400K 
copy protected disk and copy it and others to an 800K disk.
