Interesting, i never thought about something like that, I will go home tonight and have a play around with some stuff and see if i can design a simple little circuit that will pigi back on the manual on/off switch that senses when the power comes back on and then shorts the switch, thus simulating a press on the power button. Dont hold your breath but i will draw up some drawings and a parts list if i get it to work. (unless someone else gets in first). -|- Hurgh -|- __________________________ Website: http://www.hurgh.org/ Forums: http://forums.hurgh.org/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Lockie" <bjlockie@lockie.ca> To: <freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 2:14 PM Subject: Re: ATX boards and restart after power failure > > > Lol, just got this email just after i sent my last one,. so sorry to use up > > the bandwidth :) > > > > Have you tried getting a new firmware revision, it might have support for > > it?? > > I flashed the latest BIOS, I'm pretty sure it is the hardware that was > lacking. > I did a search of the web and found a disussion on the list from 1998 > about this problem. > I am hoping that the original person that said he could design a circuit > to hack it is still on this list. > > http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3155+0+archive/1998/freebsd-hardware/19981011.freebsd-hardware > > > > > -|- Hurgh -|- > > > > > > __________________________ > > Website: http://www.hurgh.org/ > > Forums: http://forums.hurgh.org/ > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Bob Lockie" <bjlockie@lockie.ca> > > Cc: <freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org> > > Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 1:06 PM > > Subject: Re: ATX boards and restart after power failure > > > > > > > >>On 05/13/03 22:45 Bob Lockie spoke thusly > >> > >> > >>>Does anybody remember this topic? > >>> > >>>DATE: 10/19/1998 02:35:30 > >>>SUBJECT: RE: ATX boards and restart after power failure > >>> > >>>I have an Asus P5A r1.04 mainboard that I want to use for a server but > >>>it does not reboot after a power failure. > >>>r1.06 of the P5A does but that doesn't help me. > >>> > >>>Did anybody find a work around? > >>>I've contacted Asus but I expect them to just say that I am out of luck > >>>with the revision board that I have. > >> > >>I wasn't clear. > >>The BIOS setting for this is not selectable because it is not supported > >>on the revision of the mainboard that I have (1.04). > >>It was later added to revision 1.06 of the mainboard but that doesn't > >>help me. > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
