shifter upgrade questions

Ok, here's what I think I want to do. I've currently got 8-speed RSX triple
setup, and I want to swap out the brifters and deraileur with Campy Centaur
9-speed, the cassette with Ultegra 9-speed, and get a 9-speed chain. That's
all I need to do, right?

Also, is the just one model of Centaur brifters and deraileur, or are there
different 9 & 10 speed models?

And just out of curiosity, is the Campy 10 speed compatible with the
upcoming Shimano 10 speed cassettes? Are the Shimano 10 speed cassettes
compatible with my RSX 8 speed hub?

Thanks,

- mark

Yes except the cassette won't be correctly spaced. Some users tolerate
the error. See http://www.sheldonbrown.com/k7.html#spacing

Two different versions.

Yep, all you need is the Campagnolo ERGOO shifters, and rear der...shimano 9s
cogset and chain-go ride-

Also, you can do this with 9s OR 10s ERGO, either will work with 9s shimano-

geez, the difference is way less than 2mm, complete cogset and spacers..This
works just fine, nothing to 'tolerate'.

According to http://www.sheldonbrown.com/k7.html#spacing , the spacing is a
0.2mm difference...
