Why would it be a problem? I actually recommend AT power supplies when people want to power their drives off a separate supply.

How is the AT supply turned on? Preferable it should be powered up at the same time as the ATX supply.

Sorry but that isn't possible as the AT PSU uses a switch which is directly connected to the electricity input.
ATX PSUs use a diffirent power on style with a low voltage line connected to a button (not a switch) to give a power on signal.

Just power on the drives first and then your mobo.

My CPU runs so hot the arctic silver undergoes nuclear fusion :eek: .<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by svol on 12/07/02 02:55 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
