...Has a system with dual power supplies. If anyone is interested in putting together a system like that, I suggest they go ahead and buy one. Otherwise, let's leave the design stuff to the power supply engineers at Power One and the other big power supply companies. They've got loads of (trained) people to take care of the design debates (including the use of Schottky Diodes). If further discussion on this toppic is desired, perhaps news:alt.engineering.electrical would be a more appropriate forum (or any of a number of other resources that show up in a google search). The debate was off-topic to begin with, strayed even further, yet stayed interesting with the concerns over load-ballancing supplies. Debating design features of power supplies is really wandering off of the beaten path... especially given the lack of experience most of us (the members of debian-user) have with the subject. Sorry for adding to the noise, but geez, this list is chatty enough already to be almost unmanagable. Bottom line: let's let the discussion die or else move it over to another list or NG. --Rich > > (loads of chatter deleted) > -- _________________________________________________________ Rich Puhek ETN Systems Inc. _________________________________________________________
