You are not really even near the limit.  I had the following setup on my
A1000 for about 18 months with no problems:

      A1000
      External 3.5" drive
      External 5.25" drive
      Spirit Inboard 1.5M expansion (total 2M RAM)
      ST506 Hard disk controller
      40M ST506 hard disk
      AMax

All working perfectly.

I only took it apart as I am waiting for some faster RAM and hard
drives.


I hope this helps,
Phil.
