It seems that I am not able to send commands to the diag console. Hitting "." or ":" should get some feedback from the device, but nothing happens. My RS-232/TTL is working, double checked with 2 SATA devices.

This is all I get after powering on the hdd, so receiving works:
Code:
Reset
4096k x 16 DRAM
NHAWK - 1_Disk    S-42   03-27-07_13:01
                                                                             
Buzz HM SFI                                                                 
!                                                                           
(P)PATA Reset                                                               
Master
(S)PATA Reset                                                               
Master


pins I use:
Code:
+---------+---------+-------
|   PWR   | . T . G | ....
| ° ° ° ° | . R . G | ....
+---------+---------+-------
T - TX
R - RX
G - GND


I jumpered G to get the device configured as Master and also use at as GND. Every help is appreciated.

Try "Ctrl-Z" first to get a "T>" prompt

The code you display means that terminal communicates with your drive. If hitting CTRL+Z does not get you a prompt then maybe something gone bad internally. I think preamp controlls this signals. Does the drive click?

I did not notice any clicks and the problem applies to 2 drives. The above one and another with also stops interacting with me after I received
Code:
Reset
4096k x 16 DRAM
GALAXY - 1_Disk    S-6D   09-22-06_15:48
HM SFI
!
(P)PATA Reset
Master
(S)PATA Reset
Master


I have tested both scanned both drives with MHDD, and everything looks fine to me.

Oho, I just got an idea what I did wrong, if it is true... I'll hammer my head against my table so hard, that there will be no morning... :roll:

Well, at least you think you found out what was wrong. Please, let us know here, if possible. I am facing something very similar. I connect to the drive (hyperterminal, COM3) but I don't seem to have a prompt to edit any info. When I leave the connection, I have the option to save...
I am just researching the field and I never saw anyone doing any procedure. I am following some manuals and experimenting.
What I think my problem is in my case is I don't have a modem connected to my motherboard (and so who or what's going to translate the data I type?).
I may be wrong but, eh, that's how I can sleep at night.
