stumonster Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) I have a 500g seagate that has had its firmware venture up its own date Root CauseThis condition was introduced by a firmware issue that sets the drive event log to an invalid location causing the drive to become inaccessible the way to sort it out without sending it back to seagate and losing the data on it is http://www.msfn.org/board/solution-seagate...ds-t128807.html so to issue it an ultimation I need to buy / make a serial to TTL converter any ideas where I can purchase the unit - mail order it in Thailand ? http://alldav.com/index.php?main_page=prod...;products_id=11 This is a level shifter for connecting the serial port of a computer to a TTL micro controller or any other TTL UART device. The pin spacing is standard 0.100" and will accept a four pin header so that it can be plugged directly into a breadboard. The pinout is labeled on the board and is Vcc, TX, RX, and GnD.

thaimite Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) All though I could not find the item you are looking for this supplier has a Bangkok office and delivers all over Thailand for a nominal price. Prices are not the cheapest but all their items are good quality and the range is hard to beat. I also often use pictures and descriptions from their web page when I am shopping locally to try and find an equivalent Edited August 25, 2009 by thaimite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumonster Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 thanks for the RS link - but I 'll pass on a USB to TTL priced at 1300 baht they are 5 USD , so I would be happy to pay up to 10 USD here. I know there are component places at Zeer and Klong Tom , but I would rather know exactly where and price before I set off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
