hardware An expansion card for the IBM PC AT. These can
be larger than IBM PC or IBM PC XT cards because the AT
case is bigger.
When IBM introduced the PS/2 model 30 (its last gasp at
supporting the ISA) they made the case lower and many
industry-standard tall cards wouldn't fit. This was felt to
be a reincarnation of the connector conspiracy, done with
less style.
