I believe that the DS10L, DS10, DS20E, DS25, ES40, ES45, ES47, ES80 and
GS1280 systems are the ones being supported.

Will it work? Yes. At least *SINGLE HEADED ONLY*. A firmware change is
needed to do XP1000 multi-head - and that is not planned.

Probably. But if you have a problem, don't call us. And don't plug it into
any slot that has PCI hotswap HW capability. Get the HP part number
3X-PBXGG-AA. This should show up "officially" within the next several
weeks, and include Tru64 and VMS CD's with initial support on them.
