I used TimesTwo by Golden Triangle (long gone out of business). At the time,
I was using a SE/30 with System 7, IIRC.

It was similar to Stacker, i.e. it is a driver level compression. You files
appear as usual, the compression happening on the fly when they are read or
write from/to the disk. I never had any problem with it, but you had to
watch not to completely fill your hard disk, or you could run into problems.

I still have the original disk. I can make a copy and send it to you, if you
wish.
