The question is: how do I clean the drives completely

the drives behind so they can be crushed.
Later versions of VMS have an $init/erase command that physically writes
zeroes to the disk; the best way of properly initialising is to put the
drives through a degausser but even that might not please the security
conscious.
I can't remember which version that command became available though.....6.2?
