Do *NOT* use the PCI busboard without powering it up!
You risk frying the power circuit on the BPPC and the G-Rex
controller card!
If the G-Rex doesn't work with the AT supply there probably is something wrong with the PSU. Try using an ATX one.
Power it up by sorting the green wire with any ground.
I personally connecting a push-in/push-out switch to my
tower's power button and connected it there.

To do it electronically, yes, you do need a pic but there's
a much simpler way to do that,as I already said. Just short
the green wire to any ground (black wires) with anything
metallic, just to check if the system boots. If that works
and you don't want your case to be open all the time,
just get a push-in/push-out switch and connect it there.
That's the "official" way of powering up an ATX PSU.
