Regarding the Copy Options Board:

I have had one for some time, I did a beta test.  It seems to work
well, and it copies some software that the software copy programs,
such as COPYIIPC will NOT copy.  It makes fast backups and I do
all my copying with it, even if it is just a data disk.  It also
verifies as it copies.

I have used one in a IBM PC and an IBM Portable.  They have a new
half-sized card that will work in a variety of different computers.
I think the main difference is some of the IBM-clones use a different
disk drive cable (without the twist) and thus have slightly different
drive selects.
