Unless I'm mistaken, and you're talking about rewiring the PF/NXT
connectors, I do not see that a NXT-to9V convertor cable could directly
power more than one PF motor by adding two 9V to PF cables.
Directly connecting the cables will only directly connect them to the same
motor output on the PF side, unless you make modifications to the cables or
the connector wiring at each end.
You do not need two NXT-to-9V cables to power one PF motor though. That
much I can see just by looking.
