The best I've seen (and I certainly admit to not having seen everything)
was in 1984/85, a few issues of Call Apple (now TechAlliance) magazine.
They actually documented the I/O locations that twiddle the drive, and
had code for a spiral protection scheme.

But, why would you want to directly access the drive hardware without
using DOS 3.X, ProDOS, or GS/OS?

All you're doing is guaranteeing incompatibility at some future date.
Must be copy protection.
