I just want to say a thank you again to Hal for correcting me. I failed to mention something however and that is the technique we use with ipods when we have tied two hots together. We use capacitors to avoid creating a direct short. This appears to work without problems but do you have any concerns about this method? BTW, I'm just one old phone guy who was forced to become PC proficient.
