Since the aftermarket drives claim to draw only 1/4 the power of the old A1010, can I safely run two external drives on my 1-meg A500? The Master drive specifically say you can't, my local Amiga dealer says you can't. What gives? Anecdotal evidence appreciated. CATS pronouncement devoutly desired. --dvp

I have had an A1010 drive (as df2:) and a CA-880 drive (as df1:) on
my A500 system for over a year now. I know that it is NOT RECOMMENDED but
I just tried it anyway! It has worked for me just fine!
I recently acquired an A590 hard drive and it works o.k. in this system
too.
P.S. I don't do a lot of accessing of all the drives at the same time and it
can be quite annoying to hear the CLICKING of two or three drives at the same
time!
