(2) 12V output; 500mA limit
(2) 12V output; 2A limit

So, the D-link will take one 5V 2A output, leaving 3 other 5V outputs available.

Each of the 2 similar outputs are not independent. For example, there is only 1 5v 2a output, with two connectors to it. I suspect that because of the sensitive nature of the radio, the rules next year will not allow you connect anything else to the 5v 2a output.

The roboRIO is available from AndyMark. http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-3000pre.htm
