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 am going to have to dig one of mine out now. I thought it was all
standard DIL packages, no ASIC or bybrids. Yes, there's an 8272 on it.
And a 34 pin card edge at the front.
The card that is well-known for not fitting in a 16 bit slot is the CGA
card. I think that's why the original PC/AT motherboard has 2 8 bit slots
on it.
