I have the same problem as Alexx86 the set up is right but I get nothing but the small arrow mark on hyper terminal. Any help would be greatly appreciated I have the same drive and firmware version Thanks try connect ground from your cable to pin 3 in terminal socket of disk. i think it finally solved Alexx86 problem. we did everything from scratch, step by step so hard to tell. I can tell you that adding a ground got my terminal working (finally)... Aviko, thanks so.......much it all worked like a charm backing up my data now as we speak. The earth from the cable did the trick. Thanks again you are definately my Hero!!! Cheers
