Hard Drive cleaner for iMac OS9.2

Hi to all.

Before I dispose of my iMac G3 w/OS9.2, I heed to scrub the HD. I have been able to find cleaning software for OSX but need something for OS9.2 - preferably free or very inexpensive as the computer is not that valuable. Can anyone offer a recommendation? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

just use the os 9 disk utility in the 'utility folder. you'll have to boot from a cd. then run the app off the cd. tell it to do a full format, writing zeros. it'll take a really long time, but it will be enouph for what your are doing. then reinstall the os and you'll be fine. the chances of a supper hacker buying your used mac are very slim.
