If you mean the cover plates for the BA213, and not slot fillers, yes...

In my experience, the drives are really flakey... I've got a couple
which have been working one week, then after a power-down, they went
fault, never to work again...

It can happen until such time as the KFQSA haas been set to respond to
addresses... there is a switch setting on the board which has to be set
a certain away to be able to program it with at least one address...
when it responds to one address, then the SET HOST command can be used.

That's because it is /UQSSP, not /QSSP
but it may not work if the board hasn't been seup yet.
