PSU = Power Supply Unit. Typically found in PCs in AT or ATX formats -
I think the main difference is in the MB power connector. I know they

short across their power-out lines.

There are capacitors/condensors on the MB that will hold a charge, after
full power-down. About 30 seconds is usually enough for the charges
to drop to unusable levels.

inconsistent.

Ironic :-/
Does your system still 'power-down' when you shut down W95? If it does,
disable the W95 power management features from with W95 - probably via
the Control Panel - I can't say for sure as I don't have M$ at home :-)

Good - well done.

Certainly getting an 'angle' on it.
