OK, tried to use 2 power supplies in the same computer. One just for the MB, and the other for the drives, cdrom's, fans, etc. I connected the green and a black wire from each ATX connector together, so they will both power up at the same time. If I have them both plugged in and connected, but not hooked to the computer, shorting the green and black powers them both up just fine. If I hook everything up to the computer, tho,and hit the power button, only onw power supply will come on. If I hook everything up to the computer, and turn it on by shorting the green and black, they both come on, but the one that I'm powering the drives and such from ........wont, in essense. The fan will spin, and I get voltage from it, but it won't initialize the drives, etc.
Anyone ever tried this before? Any suggestions, ideas, comments, etc...........
TIA!
