Emax

this is great news Jean-Marc, thank you very much!  i'm gonna try it soon!

last question :  originally there were 3 different sources for every 
different voltage on the psu, and also 3 different spots on the board.
is it safe if I wire the 3 equally labeled connectors on the board to 
the same voltage source instead of having 3? (can I short ,say ,more  
-12v connectors on the board together, and wire them to the same -12v 
connector on the psu?).
I'm asking because atx psu features only one -12v source and of course 
because i'm dumb.

thanks a lot!
