Maxtor 3.5" PC-3000 Terminal Connection

[Jared]

This took me a few minutes to figure out a simple method to connect terminal to Maxtor desktop drives (haven't needed to in a while). So I figure I'll just post a picture for reference.

I used the 3.5" Seagate Terminal Adapter and connected as seen below:



Worked like a charm. Easier than doing single pin connections.

WHAAAATT!!!! My Maxtor manual only goes up to page 47!!!!

That explains why I have no idea what I'm doing with them. :lol:

I just downloaded the manual from Ace update server, and it actually does have more pages. Haha, I got jipped with my original manual. Good thing I almost never get in Maxtor drives and the ones I do have all been easy cases.
