Aight, I have a Toshiba Magnia 3010 Case, with it's power supply. It's a server case, and the power supply is custom fit and all odd shaped, so using another different power supply is out of the question.
Now, the motherboard power connector (ie connects power supply to motherboard) is a 24-pin connector that resembles ATX ones, only 24 pins instead of 20pins. I was told this is a 'Columbus' Server-AT connection.
On to the problem, I would like to connect that power connector (24-pin Server-AT) to an AT motherboard with AT power connectors. So of course something needs to be rewired so it actually powers up, the other issue is that as I understand it ATX power is triggered by the motherboard, not a regular switch that switches the power supply on and off like AT power supplies. Sooo... I guess you'd also need to trick this 24-pin power supply into thinking the ATX motherboard returned a good signal or whatever.
I have an extra AT power supply I can mangle to get the AT power connectors, I just dont' know how its gotta be wired.
Does all that make sense? In any case, if anyone can tell me how to do this, I'd be very grateful, and there's at least $10 I would be more than happy to send the first person who tells me how to do it.
Please email me at Superwormy@hotmail.com if it can be done!
