Can you add an FPGA to an existing gpu mining rig?

I guess my question is, is it recognized as just another unit like another gpu in something like cgminer? Or would you have to run two separate mining software clients?

I'm just thinking that adding something like a butterfly or other usb fpga to an existing rig would be a great way to increase the rigs total efficiency without completely starting over with all new hardware. Kind of a way to slowly convert and still use your existing hardware to get maximum has power and increase efficiency.

Yes you can:

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.
