Hi Dave
Since I haven't seen an answer to your message, I'll give the
first part a try.
I have a "California PC Products" 400 Watt ATX power supply
with identical connectors to yours. <http://www.calpc.com/>
I believe the connector described in your paragraph 1.
is for connecting two such power supplies together to
form a "redundant hot swappable" power supply.
The other connector puzzles me as well, unless it is also
used when combining two such power supplies. See the picture at

breaks between the brackets.)
