I switched ports/cables, and lockup (DMA timeout) still occurs with the  
Maxtor only. I take it we can rule out the possibility of a quirk  
related  to the combination Promise/Maxtor? Looks like I'll be  
replacing this drive  with a Seagate soon.

I don't know if seagate is the way to go.
Check the blacklist in the kernel. There are a lot of drives listed.
Maybe the new ones don't have that problem.

 From what I recall there was a problem with Seagate and Silicon Image, no?  
My current Seagate drive seems to coexist just fine with the Promise (TX2  
Plus) controller.
