The paper clip/tweezer solution for shorting TP's to access terminal is not regal enough for me. :lol:
I've seen a very fancy tool that was specifically made for the job on the internet somewhere but cant seem to find it any more.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about or which site its on?

I understand, but ISTM that you could still do it with a divider.

Anyway, here is the original (?) thread:

I was able to find the read /write channels on most drives due to lots of detailed posts on here. Are you aware of any posts that describe the exact procedure (timing) etc when using any of these tools on any particular drive?

At some drives there is no resistor on both lines – so only one way to find read channel is to check both differential pair

There is a better way that doesn't involve trial-and-error.

How to identify the Read Channel when no terminators:
