[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] I/O Card

I recently purchased a 2S,1P,1G I/O card for my system (33/386 AMI
motherboard). The problem is the card does not fit properly into my system.
After plugging it into the 8bit slot, the card does not screw in properly 
on the "grill". It seems that it would work fine if my motherboard was not
on the stand-offs, but my WD7000 controller fits into it fine. (So I dont 
think its any installation problem on my part). Are all I/O cards of this
height? I dont mind screwing it in part way to keep it steady but when 
you screw it in all the way, it puts too much pressure on the card and pushs
it forward (and seems to angle the back of the case). But my main concern is
that the game port doesnt not come into view where it should, half of it
is hidden behind the "grill" while the other half is exposed where it should
be. This is kind of hard to explain, but hopefully others know what I'm
talking about. Basically, are all cards the same height? Or did I get
a bad sized (height) card for my system?
I'm afraid I dont have the name or manufacturer of the card, but I did get it
for a good deal ($25). Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks.
