hm, splitter? (don't know the proper word, it has one male ISA edge

with wires from PSU connected to the proper bus pins?

There's no active components on the "backplane". OK there mayu be a few
LEDs of something to show presense of power but no vital components vital
to the system. The S-100 backplanes are a good example. The CPU, system
memory, video circuits, I/O ports etc are all on plug in cards.
