Many thanks, Karl (and Tony too) - that's exactly what I needed. I 
know where the extra diode needs to go now!

If anyone else was wondering, it turns out that the M-12 PSU is 
pretty much a beefed-up version of the Xpander design with separate 
+12V and -12V regulators for each voice board. The -5V rail also gets 
its own winding on the transformer rather than being derived from the 
unregulated -12V.

Best regards,

Steve
