> PSU vendors don’t want to release ATX12VO products for DIY builders until there are motherboards that support ATX12VO. Motherboard vendors don’t want to create products until power supply makers support them.

Seems like that could be addressed with one of two adapters:

- A passive adapter cable with a female ATX connector (with the 3.3V and 5V pins disconnected) and male ATX12VO connector

- An active adapter cable/board with a female ATX12VO connector, the necessary circuits to step voltages down to 3.3V and 5V, and a male ATX connector.

One or both of these could happen today and immediately solve that chicken-and-egg problem for the custom market, no?
