HI
When a power supply meets the atx 2.03 specs, should that power supply have the 12 volt P-4 connector????
I looked at the atx specs and came away very cnfused!!!
These are the specs I looked at.

HI
I did some reading,,, (lots and lots of reading)
Hopefully I am right on this.
It looks like the 2.03 spec includes the 12 volt connector.
What got me going is I have a antec 400 watt p/s that is 2.03 compliant.
BUT, DOES NOT INCUDE THE 12 VOLT CONNECTOR!!!!!!
Having gone back and reading the specs set forth, it looks like the spec putting the 12 volt connector in place was ratified updated and 5/08/2000.

So,, I think I can say that if any company rushed out to put a p/s on the market that is 2.03 compiant, they missed out on the update and did not have the 12 volt connector on the p/s.... Thus, Antec either was early or, just missed the updated spec. (My guess)
In the case of Enermax, either they waited or knew of the need for the 12 volts and added it to thier units.

Thanks

The 12v connector is an option with the 2.03 spec, as is another aux. power connector having 3.3v, 5v & Gnd. PCPower&Cooling sells an adapter for the 12v mobo plug, as I suspect others do or will soon.
