x5da8 5pin & 4pin +12V power

There are a number of these power supplies available. I got one made
by FSP Group, Inc. I chose that one because the parts house that had
it would deliver quickly.

The board works beautifully with that power supply mounted in my old
no-name case. Two watchouts, though: If the on-board SCSI is enabled,
Win98SE (and probably the rest of the DOS based op systems) will not
start. Second, it takes my machine about 45 seconds to start loading
XP after the OS selection screen. I have no idea what it's doing, but
it looks completely hung for 45 seconds, then takes off.
