Umm actually my system has an Apple HS with an OctoRAM and a TranswarpGS.  All
work fine.

This doesn't seem to be a problem in reality.  See my system setup below

SCSI Vulcan with 105s Quantum (70 Watts according to AE)(12 Watts on 105 start)
Slot 1 Grappler + with Paintjet
Slot 2 Audio Aninimator with keybord on MIDI port and power speakers on phones 
Slot 3 Video Overlay
Slot 4 Transwarp GS 12.5/32
Slot 5 Quickie scanner
Slot 6 PCTranporter with coprocessor(3 Watts for coprocessor)
Slot 7 High Speed SCSI
Memory OctaRam with 8 Megs
joystick
Imagewriter II on printer port
Supramodem 32bis on modem port
2 Apple 3.5 and 1 Apple 5.25 on smartport
Extended Keyboard, Turbomouse 3.0, and ADB mouse on ADB port
CD150, Apple 40 tape drive, and 120s in Apple 20SC case on the SCSI port
Transdrive with 5.25 and 3.5 drive hooked to PCT port.
PCT colorswitch in space in between slot 1 and Vulcan

This works pretty well as described and with the power supplied.
