I wanted to overwrite my disk with a single pass of random data. So I choose 1 round of PRNG and was very surprised to find my disk zeroed.

All DBAN 1.0.7 methods, except the TSSIT, leave the disk blanked.
This behavior is by design because auditors are upset by non-empty disks, and some random patterns can confuse disk partitioning software.
I will verify this behavior before the next beta release and then close this ticket.
