From what I remember the biggest difference between AT and ATX was that
AT power supplies had an actual button that would attach to the front of
the case, while ATX would use a wire that goes from the motherboard to
the button.
I'd probably measure the board and look it up. If it looks like a
regular sized case, it's probably ATX. Wikipedia is also your friend:
