Dominique,

I am not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but if it's

                        /---------------\
                        |               |
|------------------|----+----|------|    \----|------------------|
| card_1 generator |         | XTAL |         | card_2 generator |
|------------------|----+----|------|    /----|------------------|
                        |               |
                        \---------------/

, then most likely it won't work - because nobody can be shure that
the two generator circuits connected in parallel will work.

Some generator circuits allow XTAL-less operation with external clock,
but then it's not the above diagram.
