CD's SCSI, and VMS.

I managed to get myself and Alpha PWS500au. One of the ones intended
for Tru64, and as such not having the capability to boot VMS from the
integral IDE CD. As such, I need to get a SCSI CDROM for it. I have
some RRD43's and RRD45's floating around, but am getting confused about
the right. Adapter to use (and ultimately the right cable(s)).
There were several KZ SCSI Adaptors, but these are rare as rocking
horse .... nowadays, so getting the adaptec equivalent is probably the
best approach. Does anyone have a "mapping" of DEC part numbers of
Adaptec equivalents?
ie.e KZPAA, KZPSA, KZPSC, KZPBA, KZPDA, KZPSM, and which is most
suitable for CD's.
cable Wise, most every CDRom (SCSI) that I have seen has a 50 pin berg
on the back, so I am guessing that a 50pin berg to 50 pin berg cable is
the best bet? What happens about SCSI termination? (DB25's, Honda's
VHDCI's etc - What a rats nest of options...
The other options is getting a CD-RW drive, and plugging it in,
allowing CDRECORD to do its thang... Any comments on compatible
CDRW's, and what to watch out for... Or at least something faster than
the 4x RRD45's I have floating around...
