	Could someone please tell me how to nuke my hard drive?

	That is, what blocks I can zero so that NEITHER GS/OS NOR ProDOS
can see it.

	When I zero the first few blocks (which I thought was a reasonable
thing to do), I can get Prodos 8 so it won't realize a device is there,
but when I boot the Finder, it still recognizes the partitions, and
I believe even fixes the blocks I zeroed out before!
