Hello all, I have an older computer case that supports both Baby AT and ATX motherboards. I currently have an baby AT board in with an AT Power Supply. What should I be using as a power on switch? The AT power supply switch or the case button/wire? |

If it is an AT power supply, the button does nothing. Arno There are AT supplies with board start capability. IBM used them in all of the Aptivas. I have to think someone else did too. PC Surplus Online was dumping them for $5 a pop <new> a while ago and I have several. Power is controlled by a 3 wire cable/connector. (switch and pwr on LED) |
AT-like PSU. Board-start capability does not exist in a standard
AT board, there is simply no connector and circuit for it.
Of course since the AT PSU was never really specified you could
argue that it is an AT PSU with additional features.
