now I'm a bit curious. I got a 1502 with my SMIII. Right now I'm
using it with the scanner, a cdrom drive (16x) and a cd burner (4x)
withhout problem. I have had the same PLUS two 3.2 GB fireballs,
a 4 speed cdrom AND a syquest 270MB removable working with the same
card at the same time (a total of 7 devices). Without any problem.
The only thing about the 1502 is that you can't boot from it.

the fact that MS can't do something doesn't mean that it's hard to
accomplish. MS can make the trivial impossible (that's a feat in its
own right) ;-)
By the way, I use an Acorn RiscOS based computer. Under this OS you
don't even have to ins/rm mod anything... and that's an Os with an
installed user base of something like 300-500 thousand (?) if something
that small can support anything it HAS to be easy.
