I am trying to replace the power supply in a piece of embedded equipment running what I believe to be Pentium II era hardware (slot load CPU on a daughter board). The unit has an AT PSU with a P8 and P9 connector.
I have plenty of ATX PSUs collecting dust, but I hardly ever touch anything from the AT generation. I know that the ground wires (black) need to be together when the connectors are plugged in and that is about where my experience ends.
I ordered this ATX to AT adapter: http://www.amazon.com/ATX-Motherboa...UTF8&qid=1427826467&sr=8-1&keywords=atx+to+at When I went to hook everything up, I noticed that the adapter cable has two P8 connectors on the end, not a P8 and P9. Several of the wires are in the same place as the combination P8/P9 connector, but several are not.
I will upload some pictures after I get home. I plan to test the outputs with a multimeter when I get home as well. In the interim, has anyone here successfully installed one of these adapters and does anyone know if the wires being different colors or the connectors being labeled differently makes a difference?
