[sdiy] Digital modular backplane - update

Safety is also of paramount importance when you stick electrodes on the 
head or chest.  There are very stringent safety standards regarding 
acceptable mains leakage current for electrical equipment with an 
intentional low-impedance connection to the human body.  Cheap chinese 
switched-mode power supplies don't meet these medical standards!  You 
don't need much current across the chest to cause VF so please be 
careful!
