Hello Andrew,

Thanks for this answer on my two questions. One thing confuses me a
little. Marc wrote that I need the 16471/OTRPO adapter, and you that I
need the 16464(OTZFO)  adapter. What is the difference between them? And
do you have any idea of how much to pay for this adapter (which I
presume isn't produced anymore)?

Thanks in advance,

/Stefan
