You can also use the Zero all data option in the OS9 Disk Utility; 
the OSX does not seem to offer that (at the first level anyway; I 
didn't want to venture further on my hard drives!). Searching 
versiontracker will also reveal a couple of "secure erase" apps. I 
cannot speak to their effectiveness however.
