No, 24 pins + 4 pins (two cables) in QS; 22 pins (one cable) in DA.

Although the two are basically the same mobo (4 PCI slots, 3 RAM slots,
similar processor location) the power distributions are quite different
(separate 12 volt supply for the processor in a QS).

Frgive me Gene, I think I misread your question. That guide is for the
conversion of MDD PSU's to work in Quicksilvers and DA G4's.

OK. I hope we understand that I refer to Quicksilver G4,not MDD.
Discounting the requirement for separate 12v supply to processor,
why cannot the Quicksilver be used?
