I'm using a 256m quantum and an 80m tosh, both 2.5".
Both are using the internal power from the motherboard.

I've got an original power supply, co-pro, 10meg and strangely
it doesn't crash and hasn't blow up yet. 8)

It's cramped inside the case, but having two HD's is the only
way to "safely" run Amosaic. ie. Do a weekly copy of your
AmiTCP dir from the smaller drive ( which will be far too
regularly formatted ) to the bigger drive, then laugh in the
face of the MUI guru. 8)))))

Basically, it is possible, is not advisable but if you get it
working it's a god send.
