![]() If you have the serial numbers available I think the hdparm command might give it to you in software so you can trace it that way. If there are any manufacturing differences, the dmesg |grep sd or dmesg|grep hd should yield some clues. Again, drive lettering goes from a through whatever the drives go up to, starting at port 0 of the SATA connectors and moving up. If it's SATA and like the system I have in the back room the ports are labeled for each of the sata drives. If sdd failed it would be the second drive on the cable of the second IDE channel. For example.and someone would have to comment to correct me.if you have two IDE channels, you have up to 2 drives on each, you could have sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd. Amazing how digital receiver technology has revolutionised the field over the years.Usually you would have to hope that the connections are labeled in some fashion then work from the identity of the failed device. It still used the mechanical, analogue variable tuning capacitor before sythesised tuning came in. I might have mentioned that I had the FRG-7700 also before I replaced it with the 8800. I have an old FRG-7700 that I plan to sell someday, since I have plenty of other radios. There are some digital voice modes too, some of which can be decoded on your computer. The SDR software that you use with the hardware is generally free.Īnd digital data mode encoding and decoding is almost all done on your computer now, often using free software (along with your receiver hardware - SDR or traditional). I also have several traditional transceivers and receivers. I have a cheap dongle and a couple different SDRPlay units. There is a lot of SDR (Software Defined Radio) now, and you can get a good RTL-SDR USB dongle with some antennas for under $30, and you can get a nice SDRPlay RSP1 SDR receiver for a little over $100. Might resurrect that hobby one day but I guess it's all software implemented now. I used to really enjoy RTTY and WEFAX decoding. I remember using a CAT interface via a Com port for my SW radio back in my DXing days and still have an old Yaesu FRG-8800 laying around. The last time I used a parallel port, it was to drive a dot matrix printer! I can't think why anyone needs these today. You mentioned parallel ports: I was very surprised to see both legacy parallel and serial ports on this new 8th Gen, Asus Prime B360M-A board I bought last week. To provide an HDD light on my HP Windows tablet and it work very well. Here's an example from their web site, and a link: I've been running DriveGLEAM for many many years for the tray icons, and so I can have one set of indicators per drive. The free DriveGLEEM Windows app can put drive LED read and write icons (and other icons) in your task tray, and it can drive a parallel port to light up external LEDs. I see you resolved your issue and you are also using Linux, but I thought it might be worth mentioning DriveGLEAM in case anyone is interested (I have no relation other than as a user). ![]() The signal must be present on one of the M.2 socket pins but I don't have the electronics skills to do it myself. ![]() ![]() Use the PCIe adaptor card rather than the dedicated M.2 socket on the mobo. Forget about HDD activity lights (I like my front panel HDD light!)Ģ. Even Asus who made this card, don't think it worth while to provide an HDD activity light header somewhere on their own motherboards. This card does have a drive activity light on it which is fine if you don't want to use an enclosed chassis. I bought an Asus Hyper M.2 x 4 Mini adapter card which takes an M.2 SSD which is then plugged into a PCIe socket on the mobo. I'm surprised that all the new gaming motherboards come with at least one M.2 SSD socket on board, yet none of them appear to have implemented an LED drive light connector for the front panel - only the traditional one that works with the normal SATA hard disks. Are there any electronics experts out there who can tell me if there's a way to implement a hardware LED drive activity light that would work with a PC motherboard that takes an on-board M.2 SSD? ![]()
