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...

Cheers,
