   Oh sure, the terminal connector itself is documented, but the commands
really aren't. I guess I need the technical manual for that. I should get
it soon though, so we'll see. BTW, the terminal connector is not in the
back. On RA81, slide the drive out of the cabinet and open the logic access
cover on the top (no need to raise the upper deck). On RA82, it's even
easier, just lower the plastic front cover (just as if you were cleaning
the air filter). Again, no need to raise the upper deck, and RA82 doesn't
have a logic access cover on the top.
