How about a double pole toggle switch such as: OFF-ON-(ON) OFF-OFF-(ON) The top pole can activate a relay that powers up the power supply to everything. The bottom pole can be your momentary on switch for your computer. NKKswitches.com makes a SP3T-A27 switch that can do this. Its a A-series 'washable subminiature' toggle switch. -wj2k3 |

Ugh. I like a challenge as much as the next guy but I'm starting to think that I might just bite the bullet and... 1) get a SmartStrip 2) replace the toggle switch on my cab with a N.O. pushbutton. - press the button, it turns on the computer and triggers the rest of the cab to power on - press the button again, windows shuts down, the computer shuts off and triggers the rest of the cab to power off. Now if I could only find a really cool looking industrial metal button that will easily swap with my factory cab toggle switch. |

(shudder) as it is i have a minuture on-on toggle hidden away for the rotating monitor but if i could make the operating system do that id get rid of it... |
