I agree that would be a good comparison.

Yes that is correct.

 From a card perspective the BA213 and BA215 are identical, the difference 
is that the BA215 has one power supply and 6 slots and the BA213 has two 
power supplies and 12 slots. The KA650 cab kit is the same size as the 
KA640 cab kit, only on the 650's there is no ethernet port.

Yup, the xxboot code doesn't know how to talk to tape apparently or I built 
it incorrectly. If I get a moment to go back to the 1.4.x tree and see how 
it got built in that tree I may be able to resurrect it for the tape.
