It is Sabre family, native Maxtor. TTL is avilable via safe mode, it will help if there is a problem with SA.

As I remember, to get into safe mode you have to send signal for initializing a safe mode, not a shorting a pins.

I think Martin is referring for SATA Maxtor drives.

Yes, I forget that Sabre uses both types of PCB. Didn't work with ATA for a long time.

P.S. As I can see, Michel had provide short pins for SATA (hybrid) as well.
