Unless you consider burning up your Amiga's power supply to be a problem!
Commodore representatives have stated repeatedly on the net (and in the
instruction manual for the A1010 external drive) that the power supply in
the Amiga is designed to handle *one* external drive, only!

If you want to burn up *your* Amiga, I guess you know what you're doing,
right???  But please don't encourage other people, who lack the knowledge
required to make such a decision, to risk their machines!
