I've done things like this before. (dual power supplies) As long as I tied
the negative leads together I never had a problem.

You can keep your loads seperated and just tie the ground side (negative
terminals)
of both power supplies together. This should take care of the problem.
Connecting
the power supplies in parallel to increase the current capacity can be

other techs can correct me if I am wrong, but to tie them together you have
to use some diodes to prevent one from feeding back into the other. The
