    Sorry, but VTX CEO is a paid service which I don't have access to.
    Also, the CEO description isn't very informative. It actually connects
    to the IO in an 8xxx Alpha machine.

    Try VTX PRICE instead.

    The DEFPZ-UA and DEFPZ-AA are the PCI Mezzanine versions of the world
    famous and award-winning DEFPA-UA and DEFPA-AA FDDI PCI adapters.

    Yes, but do all of our VARs & Resellers know what a mezzanine card is
    and what it will attach to?

    Since we already assume that VARs and Resellers know what ISA, EISA,
    PCI, and FDDI mean, I'll assume that folks that have systems with
    mezzanine slots will know that they have them and will look for
    compatible options.
    
    If they don't know from reading their system product literature,
    they'll sure as heck know when they open the hood and see the
    connector.
