Given that then, try it out. As long as you have the right bus width
(slot) and the documentation says it's ok, giv it a go. It would make
little sense for a manufacturer to come up with a proprietary
configuration and then expect designers to change the standard for them
alone.
The only exception to that is when the technology takes a leap forward
which demands a completely new approach.
