    This is probably a stupid question, but I was wondering if there is
any way to use a PC/XT card in an AT machine.  Is there simply an edge
connector to adjust for the form factor difference, or are they completely
incompatible?
     The card in question is a rather old controller for a Tallgrass
Technologies external tape backup system.  I kind of inherited the thing
along with dozens of tape cartridges and would obviously like to put it
to use.

     Thanks in advance for your help!
