Yep, that would be cool, especially if, as Glen is experiencing, all the old PSs are dieing about now. I have not tested any of mine in a couple of years. I had one or two "new" service part ones in boxes, but even an unused PS can die if the capacitors leak. The only issue I see with such an adapter cable is that it would need a small circuit board or box to house an inverter. The Macintosh models power on by bringing 5V to the Power-On pin. The ATX power supplies hold the "power-on" pin at 5V when off and ground it to turn the supply on. Unless I have that backwards....
