I have no idea what the signaling looks like on that 4wire connector
between the platters and controller electronics, but it would seem to
me that the right bit of hardware hooked directly to those 4 wires
would be the best way to wipe a drive. If you drive random data onto
the data wire and slowly work the head from the inside to the outside
track, you would wipe out formatting data, hidden sectors, sectors
marked as bad, etc.
There's a simpler way to do this: Sandpaper.
