AT had two single row plugs which are plugged in together with the black wires to the centre (you fry the MB if it is the wrong way round) |

If they are used for non-PC applications they often need a minimum load on at least the 5V supply (which is the regulated one) to operate. Some also need a load on the 12V. |

| 234872 | 2004-05-11 13:17:00 | Well I use one to power a 12volt dichoric lamp in the workshop. Works a treat using an old flext goose-neck microphone post thingy. It's a lot cheaper than buying a special transformer to do the same job.... |
