        What you would want to do is hook them up in parallel, which would
increase the amperage available.  A series hookup would increase the voltage
(a very dangerous thing).  In theory, I think you could splice the wire from
pin 1 on the first P/S to pin 1 on the second, pin 2 to pin 2, and so on. 
Personally, though, I wouldn't try it.
