Not  knowing all the power requirements on the TWGS, I'm wondering if

Any thoughts?

As always when using more than one power supply in a system,
there would be the issue of sequencing power so as not to
cause any damage during power up or power down.

There is also the issue of regulation, since if one supply
regulates slightly higher, it will supply vitually all of the
current.

It is far better to simply use a power supply adequate for
both the system and the card.
