The TLL adapter basically emulates COM port on USB right? If so, can I just connect the seagate drive interface directly to a COM port on my PC? I'm planning to use a PC with Windows XP or 7.

that would suck :)

COM port uses +-12V signaling, which would kill the pcb instantly...
you need to match IO voltage to that of the pcb.

Do you know the IO voltage of the Seagate ST310014ACE drive by any chance? I'm new to unlocking by TLL adaptor.

Measure it. I'm guessing it will be 3.3V.
