  It's not my fault that IBM made the bracket too
small, and actually, the
 slot in the back panel is just too narrow to take a standard Blue Ribbon
 connector, which makes GPIB cards a little difficult to do right (the
 normal thing is to use the IEC625 (IIRC) wiring on a DB25 connector again). 
The slots on the PC (5 slot motherboard) are wider than the slots on the
XT (8 slot motherboard)  I have an old SCSI card or two that DO use a Blue
Ribbon connector!
