The Tau'ri-Ancient Interface Adapter is a piece of Tau'ri technology designed to allow Earth-based computers to work directly with Ancient technology. The device has a control crystal-like connection that plugs into Ancient technology, the other side of the adapter connects to a computing device. The Atlantis expedition makes use of these adapters to connect their computers to the Ancient technology on Atlantis. (SGA: "Rising", "Thirty-Eight Minutes", "Grace Under Pressure")
