OK, I want to bypass the PCI bus power from the motherboard to an RME digi96/8 PAD sound card.
Accomplished with cutting appropriate traces and soldering wires to an external linear regulated power supply.

The problem is that voltages required are +3.3V, +5V, +12V, & -12V.
Also, the specs of the PCI pinout is very complex. It seems that the ground could be shared by input/output of data, and some of the data, as are possibly some of the voltages.
Anyone know more about PCI bus power?
