Problems with autoboot on powerup...

[Alexander Vasenin aka BlackSir]

Hi! Month ago on some Russian forums I've seen a conversation about how to
workaround if a motherboard BIOS doesn't have "Bootup after power fail" or
similar option. The solution was to attach one wire of ATX power cord to
ground(or maybe to +5V). I think if you make some google you'll find the proper
wire and scheme of attachment. (My internal voice tell me that was a grey wire,
but I'm not sure)
