I have a Video 7 VRAM card and would like to use the Adaptek SCSI
controller in my system.  Normally, the card is used in 16-bit BIOS
mode and takes up the address space from C000 - DFFF, but you can
switch the card to 8-bit BIOS mode and it will only take up the space
from C000 - C7FF.  Would using the 8-bit mode allow enough room for
the Adaptek BIOS so that I could boot the system?
