I'm putting together a legacy Socket 7 system (from the early 90s).
The motherboard I'm using is a Shuttle HOT-553, which I'm fairly certain is Baby AT (if someone could confirm this, that would be great).
Can I quite literally install this Socket 7 motherboard into a modern case with Baby AT support (example), throw in an AT power supply, and have it all function, even with the default power switch in the front (which I assume is an ATX switch)? It was my understanding that the ATX power switch scheme is different than that of the AT scheme.
And how about things like the I/O panel? Could I just use something like what's pictured towards the left in the following image?:
So basically, the 2 questions are:
1 - Is my motherboard Baby AT? (Shuttle HOT-553)
2 - Can a modern case with stated Baby AT support (of which there are several) also handle the power switch differences of the AT standard, or does something need to be modified?
