[net.micro] BULK DISK ERASURE

moore@ncsc.arpa (Jim Moore) (04/26/86)

Does anyone know of a bulk disk (8" and 5.25") eraser that verifies the whole
disk as erased?  I need this for security reasons.   

Any help is appreciated.

I suggest you try a good audio shop, one that caters to serious
recordists for a bulk tape eraser. You will of course have to
reformat any floppies treated that way.

I suggest getting one of the big ones used for 10-1/2" tapes
and keep it a long way from other disks, e.g. don't use it on
a desk which has disks in drawers underneath. Don't laugh; I
have seen people do it with tapes.
