Hello everybody,
If I have a modern ATX power supplier, can I plug it on an old AT motherboard through a "converter" cable?
I've found something called 20/24P ATX To 2 Port 6Pin AT PSU Converter Power Cable, is this effective? How it works?
Regards

yes, and as previously said, it just works.
a modern ATX psu supplies all the necessary voltages needed for most AT systems, more modern ATX psus are missing -5V output, but there are only very few components that actually need it.
as ATX uses soft on/off a simple switch is used to short the power-on pin on the ATX connector and switch the PSU on, an old AT switch can do that just fine.
