By 'latter have' I assume you really meant 'this has' (8-)#
Ahah I missed that - you didn't actually say AT in your first msg but
P5/6 was a clue.
Two types of supply:
1) Old AT That has a mechanical on/off switch so should nothing
special. Why aren't you simply using the built in switch? All the ones
I have ever used do not need a motherboard connected. I have plenty of
such supplies, which I could send for postage only if you fail to get
yours going.
2) New ATX and similar with 'soft' switch. This you connect the green
cable (p14) to any ground, but p15 next door (black) is the best candidate.
