How old, what OS? There are some utilities that will zero out a hard-drive. I presume you're interested in removing any old personal data. I have an old utility called "Burn 2.3" (Classic Mac) that allegedly can zero out selected files, so this wouldn't require a boot disk. There are others that need a boot disk. If the hard-drives are quite obsolete, and you're just interested in making sure your data is wiped before disposing of your legacy macs, you can always open them up. You'll get some amazing refrigerator magnets. The nice shiny disks ought to be good for something decorative...
