The solution that you are looking for is: PC-Lock which can be
had from Johnson Computer Systems, 20 Dinwiddie Place, 
Newport News, VA 23602.

It will do all you ask and alot more.  It is about $30-$50 as
I remember.  If someone does not have the password they can forget
about getting at the hard drive even if they pop the cover.
