Ah I'm probably talking about a different device.  The riser PCI cards
I'm thinking of will generally add too much extra capacitance to the
bus.  The clock spec is only expects one connector between the
devices.   However, if you don't have a full bus then you can get by. 
The PCI spec is tight but you can push it pretty far out of spec.

Sorry I was confusing your VGA devices with your BT framegrabber.

Sounds like you will have to work with the driver writer(s).
