Zeiss RT05 Rotary Table Compatibility with C98 Contoller

Hope this is the right forum section to put out a question on a RT05 Rotary table.

5 years ago the owner picked up a Zeiss RT05 rotay table. We can turn it on and it will rotate but to get it to index it has to be tied into the controller and Calypso software on the machine.
We have a Contura G2 assembled in 2005 and an ACCURA 2 assembled in 2017 both using a C99 controller.
In previous searches we found out this rotary table will not work with the C99.
In June of this year our owner found a Zeiss Prismo MP5 HTG at an auction for less than 8000.00 and jumped at it.
It has a VAST Gold Head a C98 controller and more plates, elbows, extensions, reference spheres, adapters and stylus of every style I can think of. An inventory of those items alone shows he can get his money back and scrap the machine and come out ahead.
Mark chose to have the machine checked and with the replacement of the Vast Gold head and a glass scale this thing calibrated to 0.05 micron thru its measuring volume.
Now after all that my question is, can this RT05 rotary table be used or adapted to be used with the Prismo being it is an older model machine.

Thanks for any help you can provide
