> There's a simpler way to do this: Sandpaper. I think the exercise was akin to lockpicking: yes a crowbar will do the same job, but that wasn't the point. Can it be done without physical destruction?
The one example where this actually is important, is if you're returning a drive under warranty. You want to wipe the data, but you can't take the drive apart and still get you're money back. In that case, if the 4-pin wire goes to a removable connector, then plug it into a board that drives the appropriate signals, (hm, I wonder if you could do it with some 555's or something), and then reconnect it to the controller board in the drive, drop it in a box and ship it back for warranty money. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
