I know another ATX motherboards without this option in BIOS. With one friend we prepare hardware patch independent on MB. It's based on single chip processor. We used this "complicated" solution because if you start ATX computer you need push power on button for time less then 4s. When you push power button longer, computer power down. Processor control timing. If you want describe functionality exactly I can try. We use this in two servers many years without problem. Now I have 5 or 6 pieces of this card. If you want I can send it to you. But I don't know the cost. It was about 60 US$. Ivo Hazmuk Open-Source software isn't a matter of life or death... ...It's much more important than that!
