The last parts listing that I had were not as good as I hoped they were.  Since I was a little more patient in the design out of laziness I saved myself a little trouble in making the proper power system.  I have effectively replaced the MAX618 with the TPS81256.  This has opened up a new series of possibilities because it also possibly eliminates the need for regulator pairing.  This gives an absolute level of control over each connected device and allows me to have a surprise set up in the design.  All I have to do now is order some COG/NGO ceramic capacitors.  This will allow me to finish getting the parts I need for the test system, and it will also allow me to spend time troubleshooting certain persistant problems.
