You should be able to "piggy back" two motor driver chips. The normal ones for the HB are capable of about 1Amp or .6Amp. Use another 1Amp chip and you should be able to source 1.5Amps. Although, I imagine that using identical chips would be advisible since propagation delays of different chips may be slightly different and may yeild some effects???
There has been talk about some successful attempts (someone verify please) at this rig.
