Are we talking piggybacked board or chips? For this board you remove the crtc and chrrom chips from the 8296, install the board, then put the chips on this board. One crtc chip. When you say piggybacked i think of leaving the existing chip and placing another chip directly on top.. Hence two chips. The other board has no relation to this board, its just an example of a graphics board that adds another crtc to the existing one.
