No, the PIV needs to be snapped to use it. Otherwise the 'pixelbus' would get multiple drivers and thats for sure not a good thing.
Just to clarify - even with the denise adapter, the PIV must still be snapped in order to use the flifi within an A2000? So the denise adpater essentially replaces the "snapped" section, and the cables from the adapter attach to the connectors on the main section of the card?
