Weird.  Too bad so many folks out there are into doing the kind of
nonsensical crap that requires specific browsers or specific features even
to be able to be displayed.  I thought the whole point was to spread
information around?!

Is the connector(s) coming out of it standard?  Does the mounting look
fairly standard?  If only the connectors to the MB match,  try substituting
a regular PS and see if the machine acts differently.  You don't have to
mount it in there for that test,  if mounting is a problem...

Any chance this MB has a nicad soldered to it?  Just a thought.
