I have bought a great 400W PS but it is the old AT type with the P8P9
connectors.How can I convert this to an ATX 20 pin connector?
I have searched the web and there is no such adapter advertised, only
an ATX to AT adapter.

Hi Feilong,

Thanks for your attempt but if you look carefully at the picture of
this adapter
on Trianglecables.com you can see that they are offering an ATX to AT
adapter.They have advertised it incorrectly....not your fault.

Regards,
ssrteddy.

Hi Ssrteddy

I found two sites from the search string I used for your question. The
first one is located in India. I don't know were you are located and
it may be far from your place, but if you really want to get the
result you desire, it's worth it. Below  is the link with the
description of the product.

Cyber Shop - Welcome to cyber shopping
AT to ATX converter
"This is a connector at one end you connect you AT psu and the other
end you connect to the ATX mother board. But the mother board will
work like a AT mother board not like the ATX board, meaning the mother
board will power on as soon as you power the PSU."
This converter is for $10 with shipping

Re: AT to ATX (is it possible?)

Question:
I was wondering if I could use an AT power supply in an ATX
motherboard. I don't care about any of the additional features
provided by ATX power supplies, and just wish to use the numerous AT
power supplies I own. I thank you for any help that you can give me.

Reply:
"I think it is difficult to us AT psu in ATX motherboard. The
different between at and atx is 3.3v ,Vsb and Ps/on. You must check
your mother board use 3.3v or not ? If it didn't use 3.3v (good
luck)then you can connect Vsb to 5v and and connect ps/on signal to
ground and wiring the 20 pin connector according to the site
http://www.formfactors.org/developer/powersupply.htm"
