I was browsing eBay today, looking at ISA video cards, and found this:
Vintage G2 Deico EGA-S800 Acer-EGA Card 8-Bit IBM Clone
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370448708791&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
In the description, they included the switch settings, which has a "slot configuration" switch for "slot 8". It says "slot 8 for IBM PC" which is obviously wrong, so I presume it means XT (maybe it got cut off).
This is interesting. I thought the only things that could go into the 8th slot was an IBM Asynchronous Card or a 3270 emulator card. I thought I heard someone had used a "Video Seven" card in the 8th slot once.
Anyway, if anyone's interested, there's the link.
