Yes, it supplies 5v to a pin on the drive.

It's possible to make yourself too. ;-)

Yes it does ;-)

I just tried it :-)

BTW, I made a mistake. The 5v to pin solution is for Sabre SATA, not Calypso. The one Starling states correctly is for Calypso.

So you can make ROM changes in safe mode, but you can't make FW changes since FW changes involve writing to the SA and heads are disabled in safe mode. Is this correct?

Sorry about turning the topic slightly.

Thanks,

Andy
