Hi, Peter, Unfortunately I do not think I would be able to adapt the ZM1350 to the B5971 with a custom adapter board, and the reason is due to the differing resistor requirements between the two for their respective pin sets - it would require a not insignificant adjustment to the main board to get right. I feel your pain about acquiring ZM1350s... I have managed to purchase twelve in the past several years, and nearly half of those were defective in a significant way.
