Boolean

This property is true if a 16-bit ISA card is known to work in an 8-bit ISA slot. It is false if the card is known not to work in an 8-bit slot. If the value is not set, then the card has not yet been tested in an 8-bit slot. If the card is an 8-bit card then this value will of course be set to true.

This is useful for those working with XT and older computers, which only have 8-bit slots. Knowing a particular 16-bit card will work in a machine with only 8-bit slots saves the hassle of trying to find an 8-bit card to use.

If a card does not natively work in an 8-bit slot but can be made to do so with different drivers, then this value should be set to true, but an explanation should be given on the device's page.
