This is not for the damaged disk but for a working one.

The idea was to use the, for me until now, unknown serial TTL RS232 interfa=
ce =

to access a working disk. The benefit would be to use only 3 pins and simpl=
e =

ASCII commands through an integrated PIC UART (or a bit banged one) instead=
 of =

using the (S)ATA interface.

I hoped that if it is possible it might already be done by now (that is rea=
ding =

and writing to a working hard disk, not trying to recover a broken one).
