Memcal difference between T5 and 700R4?

I'm about to order an Ostrich 2 from moates, and I'm a little confused about the G1 adapter. It looks like it plugs in where the memcal goes, and then the ostrich connects to that, right? But then the limp-mode circuits are no longer in place, so what happens if the ECM tries to go to limp mode? I have a spare memcal, but it's for an 88 LB9/700R4. I'm thinking it might be better if I modify that one by adding a ZIF socket, and just plugging the ostrich into that. But is there any difference in the limp mode circuits between the T5 and 700R4 memcal?

The MEMCAL plugs into the side of the G1 and retains the the two CALPAKs and knock filter (if present).
