Well, the M1-ATX just sends a signal to the mobo on/off. It doesn't actually know the status of the ignition, just knows that there is a change. So if you skip the "on" signal with the method described above, turning the ignition "off" will send another signal to the mobo on/off- now, since the pc was off, this will trigger it to turn on. The hardoff delay on my PSU will cutoff 45 seconds later, in effect yanking power from the pc = verrrry bad
