Hi Mark,

Thanks for the info.  I assume the extra 4 pins are:

+12V
+5V
+3.3V
GND

as defined by the ATX 2.2 spec.  If this is the case then I assume we
can ignore the "extra" four pin connector and separate it out.

I haven't checked, but do most of the new supplies come with this
separable connector?
