hard drive questions

[jconger@fREMOVEoCAPSoFORbEMAILox.com.INVALID (Jim Conger)]

I have a couple of questions about two hard drives I have.  I've
looked at various archives, but I'm probably not familiar enough with
where things might be filed ... ;)

I have a Sider ][ 10M (?) hard drive on an Apple IIgs and a TruStor
10M hard drive on an Apple //e.  I also have what appears to be a
spare controller card for the TruStor.

Everything was purchased used some time ago and has waited for me to
have time to look at it.  The IIgs/Sider came with only the software
installed on it, but it does have some Sider utilities installed.  The
TruStor came with an "Advanced Tech Services TruStor/Sider ProDOS
formatter and head parker" disk.  I also have Glen Bredon's ProSel.

I am replacing both drives with CFFAs from
http://dreher.net/CFforAppleII/ because I'd like to get rid of the
large boxes of moving parts.  I'd like to wipe and reformat both
drives and find them to good homes.  Two obsticles:

1. I don't have dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/hdd like I would on a UNIX
   machine.  Anyone ever write a wipe utility?

2. Can I get the original software for the Sider?  Is it worth trying
   to preserve or re-create the CP/M, Pascal, and DOS3.3 partitioning
   on the Sider?  Should I forget about it and format in ProDOS?

Suggestions welcome, offers of a good home will be considered ;)  The
TruStor sounds pretty good, but the Sider is making a fair bit of
noise and may not be long with its smoke inside.

Thanks,
Jim
