Antwort: [sdiy] construction of simple power bus for newmodular?

[harrybissell]

Of course I don't believe that we've ever discussed this... but the ideal
bus might
consist of a four layer PCB with the voltage planes interleaved to get
really, really
low inductance and high capacitance (all good things).

Multiple, parallel twisted pairs might go up to the individual modules to
keep the benefit
of this construction.   Are you listening MOTM ???     :^P

But SERIOUSLY folks... you might consider commercial PCB suppliers for a
power bus.
I have indeed done this !!!   If you are careful about labeling the
components, a large PCB
'might' be bandsawed into smaller strips after manufacture, without running
afoul of the
"no step and repeat" rules.
