That is because you didn't ask a valid question.

What kind of answer do you want? One that says "Sure go do it." If that
is what you are looking for than you are out of luck. It isn't supported,
so no one is going to tell you it will work for sure in your case. The
correct answer is "You can't, it isn't supported." Is it that you don't
understand that or do you just want something that isn't available?

You can try it though, and you can hack the power supply to give you
more juice, and you can solder in some external power or whatever 
else you choose. But the official answer is still, "No, it isn't supported."
Sorry.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
