There is no busboard for the desktop A1200. The AteoBus used to hang off a cable, so you might have been able to run it in an outside casing. But I doubt this would work with PCI, since cable length would mess with the bus timings.

Some PCI card will work with cabled connection as some graphics cards have cabling on the actual output anyway like bit cable for the vga d-sub etc.

A cable on the output is nothing like trying to connect the PCI card to the bus (or the bus to the motherboard) on an extension cable. The PCI bus requires the cards connected to it to run at a particular speed. Separating the cards from the bus or the bus from the motherboard with a cable will mess with those timings and break the bus.
