Found it at grc.com. See the reply to the question titled "Can SpinRite low-level format my IDE, EIDE, or SCSI drive?" at http://grc.com/sr/faq.htm: "No software of any sort can truly low-level format today's modern drives. The ability to low-level format hard drives was lost back in the early 1990's..." They take 89$US for a copy of Spinrite. I suspect I'll buy this after I recover from the recent unplanned purchases...
