I assume you're referring to this?

I have never used that particular cable, but I have built my own ATX to Amiga adapter, and can confirm that it does work. As long as the voltages going to each pin on the Amiga PSU socket are the same as they would be if using the original Amiga PSU, then it will be fine. Since that cable is designed to be used with an Amiga and an AT PSU then I assume it won't blow anything up :lol:

I remember when I built mine, it was before I towerised my A1200 and I was using Kickstart 3.1 with no hard drive (I only had a 3.5" HDD which is why I needed the ATX PSU to power it and the A1200). So of course, when you turn on a KS3.1 machine with no hard drive, you have a long wait before the machine gives up looking for a HDD. That 30 second delay has never felt so long as it did the first time I powered it up with a hacked-on ATX PSU :lol:
