Yes. The DEBNA replaces the DEBNT.  Simple board swap.  Identical to user
level software (and possibly to driver).  Rumor has it that it is faster.

Incidentally, DEBNT stands for Digital Ethernet BI Network and *TAPE* (rumor
has it).  And yes, there is a tape drive interface on it.  Bounce that one
off your field service rep!
