I could trade you a model 600 vax cpu for it if you want, I have two in my 
machine but would like to be able to run dual alpha in mine also (have a E2040
laying around)

Seems like a DEMNA, XMI Ethernet controller.

Something called "CLOCK & ARBITRATION MODULE" I have no Idea.
Will open up the VAX7620 here and see if I have such a card.

Something called "DWLMA-AA" it's the card that bind the Futurebus and XMI together with the E2044-AA (IOPC Module)

These are KZMSA, XMI scsi controller, should work in both DEC/VAX7000 and DEC/VAX10000 but not in any older VAX systems.

Same as above.

DEFAA is a FDDI controller for Futurebus+ (are you sure thats the right name? as Futurebus+ is only a AlphaServer 8x00 bus)

Don't have the slightest idea.
