The power supply on my ATX case is connected to the motherboard which apparently needs
to be involved to turn off the power supply.  When OS/2 is shutdown and the power switch
will not turn off the case power - I have to do it at the wall power outlet.

I've tried playing with the BIOS settings but can't see anything relevant.

For what it is worth Windows 98 turns off everything when it is shut down which suggests
it is something in OS/2.

Any suggestions please?

Is the APM enabled in the BIOS settings? there is usually something called a
soft power shutdown where you hold the power button for about 4 seconds
before the machine's power supply powers down. but then I'm using an AMI
BIOS which has the ability to enable/disable the APM ....

Just a thought...

See yah later

 Press and hold the power button on the front of the case for 4 or more
 seconds, this *should* turn the system OFF.  If this does not work, on
 the back of the PS where the power cord goes in is a rocker switch that
 turns off the incoming power.



  Thank You.

Steve,

I use the APM drivers, FP10, and XFolder on a machine in an ATX case and
MoBo.  When I select shutdown from the XFolder menu, it closes down
Warp, then powers down my system.  All the stuff above you either
already have or can get.  Good luck.

Joe
