The DE500-BA works, the -AA doesn't, and I'm not sure about the -XA.

I got some of the -BA cards long ago and set them on the shelf.  Seems
like I have lots of "on the shelf" stuff, that I'll probably never
use.  (Never said I was very smart.)

Anyway, I may still have 2-3 of the -BA cards.  If you can't find
anything, let me know and we'll work something out.
