I worded that poorly.  I should have said most motherboards designed for
P90 from the ground up have the 3.3V input requirement for power
supply.  However, some do convert as well, especially designs that
are a bit older or use the A0 stepping of the Neptune chipset.  Zeos
uses the A1 stepping.  A0 is 5V, A1 is 3.3V.
