Trag- that's plausible. I'm going to experiment with variable numbers of caps to see if it makes a difference. I'll be using a Turbo040, so if anything has power requirements enough for this to matter, that's it.

tt- the project is happening, but on hold due to obligatory holiday vacationing. It's going to be mostly wires, with a small pcb to unify the 5V and GND wires, and to hold any caps I'll use. Expect progress in january
