How do I connect my ATX-AT adapter in my Elbox tower?
« on: January 29, 2011, 09:45:58 AM »
Hey all, Ive ordered a custom-built ATX-AT adapter from Amigakit. It has a special piece of wiring that ends in 2 pins, that I can connect the power switch assembly inside my Elbox/Power Tower. However, I have no idea how to hook this up! The component in my tower looks very different from the 2 pins on a piece of PCB that Amigakit made for me. Does anyone know how this works?

edit: Solved by amigakit answering support tickets in weekends.. :) Apparently ATX-style PSU's do not support the old push-button type of power switching. There might be a workaround which I'm checking out.

whoops, it seems amigakit does do support over the weekends. that is pretty awesome.. anyway, what I didnt realise was that the PSU is now ATX and according to amigakit they only support the new-style 'momentary' switches. does anyone know a workaround for this? I have having to turn on my Amiga using the reset- or turbo switch.
