Just joined this board, and am scanning it for threads of interest..
I've been thinking about this for a while. I think the way to go is with 2 first stages, each with its own 2nd stage (eq to main and octopus), then hoses with an valve to allow interconnection between the "LP" ports of the second stages. Simple, and no special fittings necessary since we're dealing with standard shop air pressures.
I'll be configuring this setup in a week or two, and will report.
Yrs,
Chris

They market it as a traveling manifold for tech divers that are on vacation and don't have their own tanks with them. I can't remember who makes it or what it is called, but it is in the print catalog in the valves section.

The crossover manifolds that were of a solid design (as in the 2 above pictures) had some failure issues from getting tweaked too many times, the brazed joint would come apart with "entertaining" results.
The old style US Divers had a pigtail that was more amenable to abuse.
