Serial settings for the newer LG drives

Many (all?) of the newer LG drives - those based on the Mediatek ARM SoC, not the Renesas drives - appear to have 3.3v (CMOS logic) serial headers on the back, next to the SATA/power connectors. Based on a quick look with an oscilloscope, it seems that the ramp down/up for one bit is somewhere between 113 ~ 120 kilohertz, so I'd guess that the serial line speed is 115200. However, when I connect a USB<->Serial device I get garbage in minicom. Does anyone on this forum know the correct settings?
