        Best of luck on your device, though!

The HD(s) must be supplied with some decent amount of 5V juice. I know
I've run a 2300 with both ATA _and_ SCSI drives connected without frying
anything, so I reckon I can pull a solid 5v feed off the unused internal
(SCSI) HD connector. I'll have to look up the HD buses' power supply
specs in the devnote to be sure . . .

        Excellent idea!

Those older SCSI drives needed 1.2A if I remember...you're right, there's solid power there. Now all you need is an external switch so you can stop the drain on the battery as needed...
