Title: Fixing Seagate 7200.11 Question
Post by: pcfr33k on September 11, 2012, 08:38:57 pm
Can I use the Bus PIrate instead of this cable to fix the Seagate through Hyperterminal or equivalent?

WHat are the main differences between the Bus Pirate and TUMPA {TIAO USB Multi-Protocol Adapter (JTAG, SPI, I2C, Serial)}

Thanks

EDITED SEVERAL HOURS LATER:

I have the Bus Pirate and just read it will do UHART and that will allow me to communicate RS232/TTL Rx/Tx.

Now my other question is, would anyone know what commands I need to know for a Toshiba Laptop Hard drive?  The link above works for Seagate but not toshiba.  CTRL +z  does not give the F3 T>  prompt.

I am still google searching and have not come up with anything as of yet!!

Thanks

Glad you found the answer. Yes, I think the Bus Pirate can do it. Be sure it has the right speed and other settings, also your serial terminal.

I'm sorry, I have never interfaced a drive. Please update us if you find the answer, sounds very cool.

Well rs232 will need to be converted to TTL so it will not work without some conversion.  So its plain rs232 and MOSI (MIDI).  Not ttl?
