No problem. The Disk ][ controller (which is essentially the same circuit
as the Duodisk controller) is designed to consume very little power until
a drive is actually accessed. Since it is very unlikely that you could get
more than two drives running simultaneously for very long, there is very
little additional load on the power supply.
