On the subject of power supply types there is an additional (short lived) configuration that I had long since forgotten about that caught me out when fixing a box the other day. That is 20Pin ATX header plus one half of the P8/P9 pair for the CPU power (this predates the 4 pin 12V CPU power connector you see now)
Surely not that unusal - I have two boxes here with a PSU with both P9 the 20 pin ATX and a 12V 4 pin jobbie..
If you want real oddball, also have a PSU with just floppy/HD connectors plus a single 2x2 block (just +5V & +12V rails).
Actually I don't think we are that far from this sort of configuration becoming commonplace.
My mistake - It is actually a 2x3 block. Only 5V is hooked up.
Crumbs I will stop writing now, I am starting to sound like a geek :-)
Why should we stop you. The history lesson is starting to get interesting <ducks>
