I used this term in helping a user and they had no idea of what a paddle card is.
Do you know?
I loosely consider any ISA/PCI/PCIe converter/adapter card a paddle card.
Usually they are dumb and have little electronics. Just a form-factor converter.
For instance M.2 NGFF NVMe device to PCIe bus adapter card.
A dumb converter card. This term dates way back in my experience.
I see other references on Google. Do they not teach this in computer curriculum?
Generally a card with little logic but a translator.
I know the old timers are hip to the term. It existed before the ISA bus I suspect.
