Definition: IBM AT
(Advanced Technology) IBM's first 286-based PC. Introduced in 1984, three years after the first IBM PC, the PC/AT featured a new keyboard, a higher-capacity 5.25" floppy (1.2MB) and a 16-bit data bus. Users were thrilled with the storage capacity of its "huge" 20MB hard drive. AT-class machines ran considerably faster than the first 8088-based XT PCs. See 286 and AT bus.
