I currently use an AT type motherboard/power supply as my home
automation PC which is controlled by an AM12 module. The PC issues an
X10 command which is interpreted by the CM12 and runs a delayed macro to
turn off the PC, meanwhile the PC has shutdown Win98. This setup allows
me to turn the computer on and off remotely.
I want to upgrade the PC but modern motherboards seem to be only ATX and
my experience with this type of power supply is that you have to
physically press the momentary switch to get the system to powerup. I
have read that there is a BIOS setting that will override this if the
system has its power cut. Does this mean that I can't shutdown cleanly
now, I just have to pull the plug and hope that the disk cache doesn't
screw up too badly? What do the rest of you do?
Thanks, Alex.
