- The bus is the same. Unfortunately, IBM never supported any of
- the standard AT boards on it (at least not in AIX). Similarly,
- there is little software support on AT-class machines for the
- RT boards.

- One data point though, I use IBM 6157 Streaming Tape Drive and
- controller from our RT on an AT, using the Sytron backup software,
- without a hitch.
