The frac Blacet PSU is +/-15 volts which the frac modules need and euro modules need +/-12 volts which the euro PSU's supply (Doepfer, analogue systems, analogue solutions, etc...) I do not see how frac and euro modules could be powered from the same psu... or put into the same case... (having different dimensions) (ok, some euro modules might be ok with 15 volts power and some frac modules might be ok with 12 volts, but I am no tech and do not know about this...) I would suggest to use a frac rack (and its psu) for frac modules and a euro rack (and its psu) for euro modules. It=92s the best and safest way, IMHO.
