Yeah, not too many 24bit 2D video/windows accelerators
were made for 16bit ISA slots. Though Sigma designs
did make a "triple threat" 24bit acclerator, Pro
Audio Spectrum 16 and 8bit Trantor SCSI card all in
one 16bit ISA board. SCSI didn't have a bios so was
not bootable.

Nope, but eBay is literally littered with old, cheap,
16bit Adaptec SCSI cards that are bootable.

1996. Hmm, so it could be 7.6.1 VS Win95B.

Eww, you're making this sound like a computer
version of "Hellraiser". ;) But it's all for science,
or at least good fun, right?
