I saw an Imprimis ad recently that hawked their WREN line of hard disks.  They
listed interfaces as ST506, AT, ESDI, and SCSI.  I'm familiar with ST506, ESDI
and SCSI, but what do they mean by AT?  I thought that a HD with an ST506
interface could be used with an ST506 controller on an XT or AT or even an
AT&T 3B2/400.  How does an AT interface HD differ from an ST506 device?

Thanks.
Pete
