Is the whole
interface spec available anywhere?
There was never any formal standard. The closest thing is the ST
506/412 OEM Manual:

That doesn't cover some of the changes introduced in later drives,
such as the head select 3 signal that replaced reduced write
current, first introduced with the Maxtor XT-1105 and XT-1140, and
documented in the Maxtor XT-1000 Product Specification and OEM Manual:
