Would hooking up a scsi drive to a PC(gasp) and do a low level formatbe just as good as a six pass erase? Going to check out the magnetiic bulk erase for the PB scsi drives.

Can't you just use DBAN on the PC or whatever you use to erase the disks? It makes no difference if they've been used on a Mac. Also, an LLF does not really erase data. It just rewrites some sync tracks and stuff. The data is still on the platters.

Edit: In fact, you can erase disks from just about ANY platform with this way. IBM RS/6000, Sun, SGI, Mac, PC, pretty much anything.
