Like many other all-in-one audio chips of the time, this one only supports 8-bit data transfer. I doubt it has been tested, much less on your specific board, but in theory there shouldn't be any reason that it cannot work. Clearly, you would be unable to use the IRQ or DMA configurations that are only available via 16-bit slots, and you might be forced to use UNISOUND to initialise the card, as the official software may not run on such a machine. Also, I wouldn't expect such a system to be capable of higher sampling rates or sampling resolutions, so I'm not quite sure what use such a card would have in a system of that type. Do you have a specific application in mind?
