Yup we thought of that, but we need to return the system to the lease holder
in a workable condition! (*&%$#&^   it all anyway!!!)

Does anyone know of any program available for the 400 that will do a
security wipe of the disk drives? We are retiring our 400s and since there
may be sensitive/secret etc.. Data on the drives, the security folks want do
clear things like they do with PC's !!

Short of that any suggestions will help.
