Is there a way to convert an AT power supply to an ATX power supply?

Considering the form factor to be different,I donot know of any settings that will allow you to make the conversion,so my answer would be No.

Hi, the answer is no. You should have the proper power supply for the form factor of the board. Power supplies are not very expensive so why play with such a vital component? Hope this helps and good luck.

It can't work.
An AT power supply puts out 4 voltages:
+5
-5
+12
-12

An ATX power supply puts out 5 voltages:
+5
-5
+12
-12
+3.3

The additional +3.3 volts output is primarily for the processor.
