Has anyone connected a pair of identical computer supplies in parallel for
additional current capabilities? Did it require a low R resistor to allow
for any mismatch?

Tnx,

Hey OM
With my credit union branch going bellie up they tossed out tons of
computers. I can imagine there is comp supplies aplenty out there now
I see the wires them selves acting as milli volt drops. I mean how
many ground wires are coming out 8? Just use one ground wire and they
act like resistors. Albeit you better load those puppies up so that
little 18 AWG ground wire will do it's balancing act. I remember
buying comp supplies at Dayton one year for 50 cent they only worked
good when I loaded the 5 volt up big tme. Probably rejects brand new
in the box.
