Hi Kornelius,

I am checking this out...but for the moment here is a solution:

You can use 2-character chain codes in phenix.  They go in the usual 
column for chain ID and the column just before it.

So columns 21-22 in your PDB file could be:
" A"  (chain A, usual syntax)
" B"
" C" ...etc
" 0"
" 1"
" 9"
"AA" (chain AA, recognized only by  hybrid-36 compatible programs)
"AB"
"AC" ...etc
