Hotwire Power Supply

[Guest]

I'm working on a personal project and I'm using a 250w ATX computer power
supply. Is there any way to cross some wires in the 24-pin connector that
goes to the motherboard to always have the powersupply "on" even when it's
not connected to a MB? Looking at the specs for the PS, the
green lead (pin #16) is the PS_ON/OFF - do I cross that with something?

Or am I completely off my rocker and smoking crack?

Thanks in advance!!

Yes, ground that PS_ON, green wire (to any ground, black wire or PSU
casing, or a common ground at the connected equipment), but it's pin 14
not 16.

OOPS! I overlooked that part about "24-pin connector". Disregard the
"pin 14" part of my reply and the linked pic.
