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.See also short card.[Jargon File](1995-03-01)
