Something about this doesn't sound right "The bigger machines require a

No - the model 520 can't have a Twinax Card placed in it's CEC (no IOP
support in CEC).

So you need to place the Twinax Card plus IOP in a Expansion Unit.
However, you can't configure the System to use the Twinax Card in the
Expansion Unit as a console without having a HMC.

As such, using a Twinax console is 100% pointless on the new machines
- but not impossible. That was my point.
