Since Paul has scheduled modules that require the new +5v p.s. to ship within the next 1/2 year, I've been considering ps setup for my system for these modules. On the motm news page, Paul has listed the motm 950 with pcb connector board for 6 modules requiring +5V and 3 modules that do not require the +5V @ 400ma. If I remember (which may not be correct), the 'rule of thumb' for the motm 900 @ 800ma is about 20-24 modules max. Is it then reasonable to assume that the 950 can safely power about 12 modules max? Or does this depend upon the +5V to non +5V ratio of modules connected? Are any of you thinking of alternatives to the 950? Given my limited front panel real estate (or maybe overindulgence in module acquisition), I'm tending towards putting both of my current power supplies in back of my cabinets (so a 1U 'switch' front panel would be nice). Are any of you thinking of doing this with a 950-like ps? If so, how many +5V modules and non +5V modules are you considering, and which power supply (and associated components) are you considering? Thanks, Jeff
