This eliminates the Molex-7 power "bottleneck."  Because of the size of 
the crimp-pins, only 120 watts can be piped through that plug.
But with TWO PLUGS TOGETHER, the full power of the unit can reach the 
motherboard.

I'm trying to imagine what good can come from piping 250 watts into
a IIGS motherboard...!   Fried bits, anyone?   ;-)

More seriously, the total power that can be _safely_ handled by all the
slots together is substantially less than 250 watts.  The board traces
will burn up in seconds carrying 25-50 amps.
