Responses from:

Torben Leifsen
John pointed out that the RA3000 is listed in the SOG for the DS20. Torben
said that he had just purchased a couple DS20s with RA3000's, and Compaq
hadn't said anything to him.
End Result: I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
Oh, and I also got a response from a reseller named Benjamin who was
willing to give me a bid on the system.
