Sounds like you haven't checked out Antec's truepower supplies yet.
Adapting ATX plug to this AT plugs using cut off ATX extension
spliced to AT plugs is trivial. Power on wire is active low, pull
that down to ground to turn on.
Oh, yes, they do have seperate AT style plug for 3.3V function.
Antec's truepower series design is seperate 3.3V and 5V circuits, not
combined, most typical power supplies even branded except Antec
are not good. Easy to see if label says combined max wattage for 5V
and 3.3V then it is shared circuit which is not what u want.

Quick one here. I have one of those EB64/PC64
motherboards, but only a
200MHz CPU for it. Problem is, the board is set up for a 266MHz CPU. Has
anybody overclocked a 200MHz CPU to 266 in one of these? With
appropriate fans for good cooling, of course.
Why not set the board for a 200Mhz. CPU? That's one of the documented
options.
Also, these boards can run off of a
regular AT style power
supply, correct?
I'm not so sure about that. IIRC, this thing requires more 3.3V current
capacity than an off-the-shelf power supply could muster. I've yet to see
a 'mini' (aka tower) AT supply which delivered 10A @ 3.3V. I had to buy a
special supply in order to get mine going.
