It does? This is the original IBM card with an 8272 on top and three IBM
hybrid circuits (U19 U20 and U21) near the front (PC front) bottom--and
simply labeled "DISKETTE"? Mine doesn't project downward at all--I can
fit
it into a 16-bit ISA slot just fine.
I could be mistaken, I haven't looked at a bunch of that stuff for a long
time. I do know that some of those "PC" cards had that problem, but could
be wrong about which ones...
