What's the difference between those and a standard diode? I think if you use a diode to connect the outputs you are limiting the current flow in one way only. And why would you want to do this? Also I didn't understood why Alvin said "If one PS dies you are dead" I believe it will only fail to power those drives attached to them. > > Hamish > -- > Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Pedro Larroy Tovar.
