Subject: power cable modification...

Paul et al,

I recently exceeded the 12 module limit on my 900 PS due to the addition of
some Blacet & PAIA devices. According to specs the current draw of my
current collection of modules is well below the capacity of the 900.

I took a look at the MTA connectors and it appears that with a slight
modification you could create a cable with MTA connectors in the middle, as
well as on each end. Not unlike an internal power cables on a PC. This
entails drilling four small holes that allow the cable to pass thru the
connector.

The benefit would be you could power an entire row of module with a single
cable...
What I'm wondering is if there are any potential problems with doing this?
