I found an empty IBM XT 5160 case at the local recycling center, said I could have it. It's in good shape except for a few patches of rust that can be sanded off. I luckily was able to find and purchase a working IBM XT power supply off of Ebay and I am now left with a question. The IBM PC XT computers were made before the "Baby AT" standard came about, but appear to have the same P-type mobo connectors. I found that normal sized baby at motherboards have trouble fitting in this case, but I also happen to have a compact 486 mobo - the FIC 486-J, and it appears appears to match the standoff mounts:

Will this mobo be compatible with the older XT power supply, or should I look for a replacement 8088 or 286 mobo? Thanks for any help in this.
