I think you could do it with a P-FET, which is a type of transistor. A FET has three leads, a Gate, a Source and a Drain. If you connected the Gate to one of the 5V lines on the power supply connector (best to do it through a resistor, say 5Kohm), the Source to one of the Ground wires on the power supply and the Drain to the Power-On wire on the power supply, it should connect the Power-On wire to Ground whenever the power supply 5V line drops to 0V. This will reactivate the power supply whenever the machine turns off, and shouldn't affect the ADB bus, which the jumper apparently does. Note, that the above is from theory. I haven't actually tried it out. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
