Well, not really, but an ATX PSU does complicate things. I got a really big
AT tower a few years back and stuck my Amiga in it... And extended all the
ports on ribbon cables to knockouts on the back of the tower. God, I was mad
back then, that's something like 500 solder joints :(

Well, I kept mine with a big long ribbon cable on it, and a short one
soldered on to my motherboard leading to a 37-pin D connector on the tower
for the keyboard to plug into. Works like a charm! I have my original
keyboard, all the usual multi-key presses etc.
Regards,
Rob
