I should add that even with my supplies lightly loaded I had trouble
with them powering up correctly. I ended up designing my own PS
sequencing circuit before Ken did his to solve the problem. I keep an
excel spreadsheet of my current. I have measured all of my modules so
these are representative currents. The first 4 are all 800 mA power
supplies and the last is a 400 mA supply. I was seeing power-on
problems on the 461/448 and 324/231 loads. I do have before and after
photos of the supplies with my delay if people are interested. It
made a big difference in shortening the power up from 40 mS to around
5 mS.
For external loads, such as my keyboard, I use the Tyco CPC Circular
Plastic Connectors which seem to work very reliably. I don't remember
the current rating but I doubt that they would be suitable for an
entire cabinet.
