How can I tell or verify if a PSU is ATX 2.01? Thanks.

Just about any power supply is going to be ATX 2.01 unless a very
specialized proprietary unit. See this:
ftp://ftp.tyan.com/manuals/atx_201.pdf

Primarily the issue is that it has the 20-pin connector and correct
voltages on each pin like this;

Generally people don't ask about 2.01 anymore since 2.03 came out... 2.03
is more often referred to as ATX12V, and includes a 4-pin 12V connector
for practically every Intel P4 and a minority of Athlon motherboards.

Thanks kony, we appreciate your help. I'm helping my son build a machine
out of old left over parts sitting around the house, and we found out that
the PSU we were trying to use for his project machine is too old for his
motherboard (Tyan S1692D PII 440LX) becuase it is not ATX 2.01. We will
purchase a new PSU tomorrow.
