I can confirm that, Iyonix, RiscPC and Iyonix cases are all connected to
signal earth and mains earth.
If your house or extension wiring is faulty then earth may not be common!
Powering both PSU from the same four way strip should help ensure a common
earth.
Equipment using only two pin power plugs (Double insulated) can cause common
earth problems!
n.b. Six and eight slice RiscPCs used two PSUs
