Serial terminal on Momentus 4200?

August 16th, 2010, 16:26

Hi all,

does anyone know whether the Momentus 4200 has a serial terminal connection?
I have one here, spinning up properly, finishing init with no clicking but no access.
I'd like to have a look what the disk thinks about its mental state before I think about any other measures.
If it has, which pins are to be used - or will I have to check it for myself?

Im not sure the layout and connection details
