Well there is sync and sync. It seems the cards are in "sync" in that they
are exactly the same frequency, but not in "sync" phase wise in the
transfer of data. That is why there is a problem. Even though the cards
are "clock-synced" they are not in sync and Jack does not know how to deal
with that... In fact it can't know how because it is seeing one interface
where there is actually two out of sync cards that are clock-synced.

It seems if they are not phase synced then yes...
