The orange wire on a AT supply is NOT a current sense wire, it is the "Power
good" signal that the PSU asserts when the voltage on all the rails is
within specifiaction.  The idea is that the motherboard uses this wire to
hold the processor in reset at power on.  Not really a good ideas to connect
it to the +5v rail.  Not sure what slewrate has to do with it though?
