AlphaServer PCI option questions

Hello,

I have not had luck so far getting answers to these questions via Compaq:

Does anyone know what the cable part number is to connect a KZPCM-DA
(68-pin VHDCI, dual UltraSCSI SE SCSI) to a TZ87-TA (50-pin low
density, 10/20GB table top DLT)?

KZPCM-DA Systems and Options Catalog states TZ88N-TA (table top 20/40GB
DLT) is supported but does not say anything about the TZ87-TA (both
TZ88 and TZ87 have the same connector). Does anyone know? If I recall
correctly the TZ88 is FNSE SCSI and TZ87 is NSE SCSI.

Does the KZPBA-CB (UltraSCSI differential) card support the HSZ40 (FWD
SCSI RAID Controller)? I realize the KZPSA (FWD SCSI) support the
HSZ40's.

Does the AlphaServer 1200 support the DE500-XA? It seems to support a DE500-BA.

Are the DE500-XA and DE500-BA bulkhead plates identical in location of
connector and lights? Due to limited PCI slots in our AlphaServers one
idea is to combine a BN31K-0E connector (for KZPAC) with a DE500.

Finally, any word of other AlphaServer EISA/PCI options being discontinued
beside the KZPSC and KZESC controllers. :(
