Default USING THE ATX SOFT POWER SWITCH
Im using an ATX PSU for my A1200T
To switch the amiga on, i have shorted out a couple of wires so that when ever it is plugged in it switches on.

Is there any way of using the existing soft switch in the Tower case to switch the amiga on?

Default Re: USING THE ATX SOFT POWER SWITCH
Hmm Deja vu, I just said exactly this in another thread:


No, an atx soft switch is a momentary push to make, which means when you let go, the circuit is broken again and the psu will switch off.

What you need to do is replace that switch with a locking or toggle switch that stays in the same state until you press it again
