TALL CARD


Meaning of TALL CARD in English

transcription, транскрипция: [ n. ]

A PC/AT-size expansion card (these can be larger than IBM PC or XT cards because the AT case is bigger). See also short card . When IBM introduced the PS/2 model 30 (its last gasp at supporting the ISA) they made the case lower and many industry-standard tall cards wouldn't fit; this was felt to be a reincarnation of the connector conspiracy , done with less style.
