Passing on a request: anyone know of a way to erase user data off a Mac SE hard disk that will leave the disk and Mac OS intact? The machine works and could go to a new home but has privileged medical data on it so just deleting files isn’t sufficient — the free space has to be overwritten. Are there any utilities available on floppy disk that could do it? Plan B is taking a sledgehammer to the drive, but seems a waste to go right to euthanasia if there’s another option.
So I have one of these boards, but I haven't been able to locate a manual
for this specific one.
Does anyone have the manual for this specific board?

I saw on the BASIC Programming group on FaceBook that a new venture is going to start publishing Compute's Gazette again.

Perhaps interesting to some of you.

This past Saturday at a local retro meetup, it was announced there was
still at least 1 open spot for a speaker/presentation at VCF SW (Dallas)
this June.
Just passing the word, if anyone is in the area at that time and interested
to speak on a topic vintage-computing related. There should be a signup
at the VCF SW page.
Been messing around with a GRiD system recently - I'm not seeing a solid
archive of things like PDFs and ROMs for that system. And I've heard a
rumor there used to be one, but it went offline a few years back?
Mostly I'm looking for GPIB related info, and maybe either native GRiD
drivers or some compatible MS-DOS drivers to use the GPIB port on that
system.
Here some images and reference info of what I've learned so far about a
late-model (but before Tandy) GRiD system...

I'm also hunting around for one of those GRiD disk drives, if there is any
spare standalone one not bundled with another existing system.
