some VGA cards have a 16 bit connector, but can be jumpered for 8 bit slot
operation.  some even automatically detect what size slot they're in.  an
example is the logix VGA2000, which i recently checked for compatibility.
i think it's based on the trident chipset, so anything using them has a
chance of working.
