Wouter Groeneveld ☛ IBM AT Style Motherboard Standoffs
The problem was a case (yes, that too, case) of unfortunate motherboard standoffs that, although they were indeed typical #6 (a height of 6 mm) M3s (screw width of 3 mm), they somehow still were at least a #6 too short? I’ve had this problem before while re-plugging the VLB controller where the back end of the card plugged nicely, but the first 8 bit connectors hardly touched the motherboard. In short, the baby AT motherboard was bolted in at a weird angle, causing all kinds of sometimes-not-working headaches.
