Larry,

        There were any number of 8-bit ISA SCSI cards available...in
fact, most of the early cards were made for the original ISA slots
vice the 16-bit slots introduced with the AT. Trantor <sp?> comes to
mind as one, though any others escape me at the moment. It shouldn't
be too hard to locate one though.
