I don't see why it would not run, the two VSA-100 chips are on thier own bus.

@ Gary Smiley

okay true it will run, but what are riser cards like this one actually used for? never seen them in retail stores or ebay.

Lot's of older desktop PC's (XT's, some Tulip, Compaq machines and on) use risercards as well. Not one like this (with flatcable) but just a PCB which can be inserted into a slot on the motherboard.
