The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I just put them into an intel server and run DBAN Boot N Nuke. A bootable iso image you burn. All drives discovered on the system will be wiped to DoD specs.
The even have a power pc version that may boot with an iSeries box. Have not tried it.

One sharp rap in the center of the drive with a 2lb hammer. Now shake.
Sounds kinda tingly like a baby rattle. Data all gone. :-)
Seriously we have done this for a number of companies who want us to
recycle their machines but won't let us re-use the disks drives. When
they hear the nice rattling they are OK with us recycling the rest of
the drive. :-)
Pretty much all of the 3 1/2 inch drives in the last 10 years that have
been used for IBM i etc shatter like this.
