It worked.  It took 1hr 29min.  Comprehensive set of wipe options, which you can pre-customised with a configuration file.  The name CopyWipe comes from the fact that the utility lets you Copy or Wipe a hard disk.

Version tested: CopyWipe DOS v1.14

Plus points:

• it’s free!
• the makedisk utility made creating a “kill” cd-rom very easy.

Things I didn’t like:

• there was nothing I didn’t like.
  It worked as advertised.

Test notes:

• Accepted the defaults, which was a single pass mode
  (same as Active@ Killdisk Free Edition)
• Other wipe options are:
  Quick 1 Pass
  Random 1, 4 or 8 pass
  Pattern  PG MFM 28 Pass
  Pattern PG RLL(1,7) 26 Pass
  Pattern PG RLL(2,7) 23 Pass
  Pattern PG 35 Pass
  Pattern Hardware* PG stands for Peter Gutmann
