Mystic with LC video card

I have a mystic (575 board) color classic and just acquired a rather large LC video card called the Lapis ProColorServer 24 LC. It's physically much bigger than I expected, to the point where it gets in the way of the 575 board's VRAM. 

I could probably make this physically fit by building a riser with a few M-F euroDINs, but before I do that, I have a question: has anyone ever tried any LC video card in a mystic? 

This card has a 68882 on it, so I'm definitely popping that off before any trial run just because that's unlikely to play well. The card is (c) 1992 so a product of the LC II era, 2 years prior to the 575. 

As you can see from the images, it's nearly the size of the 575 board itself:

On top of the 575 board, you can see that if installed, the card would hit the VRAM on the left:

And a view from the side:

I have my answer: yes it is possible to use an LC video card in a mystic. Thanks 3-years-ago @pcamen





Next step is to figure out whether I can get a Dual PDS solution going for IIe card + video card mystic:
