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.
