Released in November 1987, Fastback for the Macintosh seems to have
remained in use until about 1990.
Top DL: Fastback for the Macintosh v1.3 (Aug, 10, 1988)
Imaged from a (modified) commercial copy (400k diskette). Disk Copy
4.2, StuffIt 5.5, BinHex 4.0.
2nd DL: FastBack for the Macintosh v1.02
The disk image was made from a user-created floppy disk using Disk
Copy 4.2. The StuffIt file was created on a modern Mac with StuffIt in
legacy format, so it'll need to be unstuffed on a higher level machine
(probably OS 9).

3rd DL: Same as 2nd DL above, but as a StuffIt 1.5.1 archive for
compatibility with very old Macs.

The help screens recommend against using MultiFinder.
It is advised to use v2 or Fastback Plus when using with any OS after
System 6.
Fastback v1.x may not operate in emulation due to the use of a custom
floppy disk driver.
