Yep.  The PC was custom-built less than 12 weeks ago, it's on a UPS
only a couple of weeks older than that, the case power supply is
supposed to handle up to twice as many drives as I have in there, and
the IDE cables are brand new and firmly seated.

AFAICT, yes.  And the other drive on the same IDE cable, also a
Maxtor, is working fine.
