I forgot to add ...
I later added a delay module so that one distribution board powers up
immediately and the second distribution board powers up about 250 mS
later. That really helped with eliminating power supply crowbar with
my quantity of modules. I used a 555 timer and some quality relays.
Today I'd probably do it with an Atmel AVR processor.
