My original question is at the bottom of this message. I received one
response from Rodrigo Poblete, and I think that he covered things nicely.
Here is his response:
> KZExx are EISA boards
> KZPSC are PCI boards

> it does not matter if the board is one or three channel... they use the
> same firmware... what matters is the board bus connector
>
> several things you can do
>
> From the fimware prompt
> do a po>>sho config
> and it will be easy to tell whether the board is an eisa or pci one
> because they are displayed separately

> second.
> run the board configurator
> is ra200rcu or swxcrmgr.exe
> and upon loading the software it will tell you if the board is pci or

> third.
