As I know there are two different supply source with different
interface: AT (old) and ATX (new). Some mobo has AT slots (very old),
some has AT & ATX slots (two years old) and another has only ATX slots
(new). To use an old mobo you have to by AT supply source or try to
change output connectors in the ATX device by himself.
