Sounds like a good idea... I don't understand it fully I'm afraid, it's the flyback stuff that I can't do. Sounds like it might work tho?

I think the sproggy design only achives about 2A from the 12v line, so running two in parallel would give 4a. Still, that's enough for a decent setup. Maybe someone should start work on a sproggy 3 incororating this?

EDIT: This worked for me for a while. I had two sproggies running kinda in parallel... One for the motherboard, and the other for the drives. It worked fine, and no extra diodes were required. They just shared the +,- and remote inputs.
