Is it possible to add a DSP Nubus board to the 840av, so as to create a multi-dsp-processor machine for sound editing?

I do know for a fact that you can add a DSP board or even three of them and use all installed dsp chips for certain Photoshop filters, which thus run very snappily indeed on such an 840av. I also have read that multiprocessing capacity (much better than the usual in the old MacOS) is built into the "mini-OS" that runs the DSP chips in the AV Macs (yes, an OS of a sort within MacOS). Does anyone happen to know if you can do the same with a DSP Nubus board and dsp-aware sound software like Soundedit 16?

If so, any suggestions as to what I'd need to look for? What would presumably be ideal is a card with an identical DSP chip or chips to the one already on the logic board.
