How is it that BIOS settings can affect this? Do they fiddle
with some battery-backed switch on the motherboard?
I have an ATX system that must be looking for a keyboard-located
power switch of some sort. It won't power up unless I unplug the
(PS-2) keyboard, and then plug it back in again. That seems as
though there's something fairly complicated in the system that _is_
being powered up.
I think I'll try your hot-wiring trick.
