Some products send around a higher voltage, like 9VDC or maybe 12VDC, and each board
has its own regulator to create 5V from the higher voltage.   But that's a more expensive 
approach.   And if the PolySix were doing that, you would see 3-terminal regulators on each 
board, like 7805 or similar.

       okay thanks - yes that sure makes sense - and yes I
 even tried firing it up without the ground wire connected
 once (just to see) but no difference. But yeah that makes
 lots of sense... I wasn't sure to what degree the board
 power was being 'mediated' by the processor or any
 other devices - though I don't see why it would...
