<html><head></head><body>I think even the AT spec wanted to see a PWR_OK signal or it could shut itself down. I could be wrong, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now. Worst case, you just need to splice two wires together when you hack off the connector.<br>
<br>
Even AT-eta supplies had adequate internal protection against, e.g. bursting into flames, I wouldn't worry too much about that. They did often have big electrolytic caps, though, *those* could potentially be a problem regardless of unbalanced power draw.<br>
