I've been running my A-1000 with a 1010 and two California Access CA-880 
drives for many months now with no problems whatsoever.  The system is 
used to do multiple copies of Fred Fish disks (Thanks Fred!) for our club
so all four drives will be running for hours.  The system also has the 
Amazing Computing 1-meg memory hack which draws a little more power than the 
stock A-1000.

If I want to do any genlocking with the A-1300, then I will plug in a 
seperate power supply for the drives.  This may not be needed, but since 
I have the extra power supply, why take chances.


Hope this helps.
