Just a little confused on whether or not I can have both the MinimOSD and X-Bee connected to my APM 2 at the same time? The Wiki states not to connect the Tx wire when using an Xbee module in parallel but I can't find any diagrams on how this should be connected.
Are guys just making a special harness and soldering the xbee and OSD wires together?
Any help or better yet pictures would be appreciated.

And here is plain diagram of it.
You can check this doc at jDrones jDoc. It shows how to connect jD-IOBoard, OSD and XBee all on same time. You can find same drawings from my picture gallery under ArduCopter wiring.
Look at this link here,

The both pictures show a hook up to the APM, But talk about not connecting the TX from the Miniosd.
I made my own cable, first I got the Cable working for my Xbee, then just ran a 5 volt, GND and TX out from APM to rx of the miniosd off of that cable to the input of the Miniosd.
