Quantum powered off drive port

[<KCR103@psuvm.psu.edu>]

I have heard several times that a quantum HD powered off the drive port will
kill the power supply after a short time.  Well if that is the case, my GS
should be dead soon, so I would like a good answer.  My GS has a 1MEG CVtech
memory board, a 1 MEg Ramfast and A Zip 7Mhz/8k.  I have one 5.25 and one 3.5
drive connect to my Rom 3 GS.  I usually disable the 5.25 by changing the slot
setting.  If the GS can power up to four disk drives, why would a hard drive
kill my power supply when I have only two or three total drawing power.
