Oh well. I remembered that I must have another 8100 PSU somewhere, and found it in the attic, and it is 100% identical, and working. So I opened it, and checked the component values.
R955A and R955B are 180 ohms (0.125W).
So I replaced those resistors with the right values, and the power supply turned and stayed on for the 1st time connected to the mains (I used isolation transformer and 200W lightbulb in series). I added some load, and so far it is success!
Interestingly the PWR_ON pin is quite different from an ATX power supply, as it will latch on if you pull it high to the 5V_TRKL, and the power supply will run without the PWR_ON pin connected to anything (pulled high). If you want to shut it off, you then short the PWR_ON to ground, which will turn it off. quite different compared to the ATX which runs all the time, the PSU_ON pin is pulled low.
One more thing, found a small note inside the PSU of that time I first did the repairs. It says:
ZD2 (zener diode) is rated at 18V. ZD1 is most likely the same value.
Perhaps someone will find this useful in the future
