They are just wires and connectors to extend the wires and connectors
already there. No drivers necessary.
On a related note, I've been looking for a 1U case and riser that can
handle 2 cards (one right-side-up, the other up-side-down), i.e. the
cards go on opposite sides of the riser, with their connectors facing
each other:
riser
card 1 ---. ,--- card 2
--------------- |-+-| ---------------
---' | `---
|
| | |
| | motherboard
----------------+---+------------------------------
Anyone seen something like this? Preferrably, both 32 and 64 bit
versions...
