Thanks, paige. You are obviously quite the guru around here and I sincerely appreciate it.

New ATX motherboards have a neat feature whereby they can automatically power up after a "power failure".  That's how my cab powers up.

When I exit from MAMEWah and shutdown, I turn the power off at the wall socket.  (My cab has lights and a car audio amp that also take separate power from the actual computer unit).  Then when I turn the wall socket back on, the ATX power supply deems that a "power failure" and the system starts up without the need for me to push a button.  Very handy.

I have one of the non-standard Dell connectors.

Does it matter what size/gauge wire I use from the pins to the switch?
ALeX K:
does anyone use the 'press spacebar three times to power on feature' of some newer motherboards, where button 3 is encoded to the spacebar from your control panel? Is it any good in practice?
