Yes, I just looked at the PAS16 manual and it only mentions using a 16 bit 
slot (I wondered if it was one of those cards that would run in an 8 bit slot 
in some sort of fashion - I seem to remember some Trident video cards able to 
do that)

Curiously the diagrams in the manual all show an IBM XT case and an 8 bit slot 
though!

I've got fond memories of the PAS16 - it's what got me started using SCSI all 
over the place years ago rather than IDE; it worked like a charm for disks 
(just non-bootable) despite only really being intended for CDROM drives.
