Here's a place to list and document any 16-bit ISA VGA cards that work in 8-bit ISA slots.
There are a few VGA cards that are manufactured as 16-bit ISA, but will function properly in an 8-bit ISA slot. Some cards may require a jumper change or other modifications to work in an 8-bit ISA slot. Please post any information you may have here.
WARNING: Some 16-bit cards are advertised as being 8-bit compatible, but require a 286 or better CPU, i.e. designed for an 8-bit slot in an AT class computer.
WARNING: Be aware of clone cards. So for example, just because the VGA card's main chip is labelled "Trident TVGA9000i" does not mean that the card is a Trident TVGA9000i. The card could be an ACME 1234, a card not made by Trident, but uses the Trident TVGA9000i chip, and has an on-board BIOS that requires a 286 or better CPU.

- TVGA 8800CS (one or more jumpers have to be changed, Information varies)
- TVGA 8900C - auto detects 8 bit. Successfully tested on IBM PS/2 Model 30 8086.
- TVGA 8900D - Manual [here] indicates compatibility with "486, 386, 286 and PC compatibles" and that jumpers need to be changed for 8-bit operation.
- TVGA 8900CL - Jumper settings that work on a Zenith 4MHz 8088 are: J1=on, J2=off, J6=on, J7=on, J8=on, J10-->J9=off,on,on,on (left to right) Note that the card did not work on a generic turbo 8088 board.
- TVGA 9000B - From archeocomp: For 8-bit operation, all three jumpers on J9 need to be on. archeocomp verified 8-bit operation in an XT.
- TVGA 9000C - From Caluser2000: "Connected the jumpers to J9 then had to remove the one off J10(blue) towards the rear ... and it worked in the 8 bit slot on the 286."
- TVGA 9000C MKII - From modem7: Second version of 9000C - Jumper settings for 8-bit operation in manual [here] - Works in an 8-bit slot in my IBM AT. Does not work in my IBM XT or in my XT clone.
- TVGA 9000I - Manual [here] indicates compatibility with "486, 386, 286 and PC compatibles" and that jumpers need to be changed for 8-bit operation.
