scrub does it for me, not heard of dban before, will 'ave to have a look...
Anyway, spare drives I have, first in first served:
PATA:
1x WD400, 40G
2x Maxtor 20.4Gb (20G? is that even a thing? :) )
1x Hitachi Deskstar 82.3Gb
SATA: (Turns out two were not as old as the others!)
1x Hitachi 80G
1x WD400 40G
They will be scrubbed before I bring them into town, which might take a
day or three as I'll leave them running on a USB adaptor...
Cheers, Chris H.

free here first as I know there are some tinkerers on the list...
With all respect to Molten Media, if anyone's giving away drives do
make sure they're wiped first, with something like dban rather than a
casual wipe in $OS.
Paranoia is a good thing.
