Paul,
I would think that using 16, 18, or 20 with the ability to serial chain the
boards, would extend the 900 past it's capacity, or would give you a single
board that does not allow the use of the available capacity. Of course one
could buy a larger Power-One supply.
I would like to see either a 22 or 24 connector board, with wider
spacing. Or keep the current 12 connector type, but add the screw terminal
blocks. This would allow mounting two boards in a "big ass case" which
would reduce the length of the individual cables going to each module.
