Will XM bulbs work?

I have a PFO Dual 250 MH system. The EYE type that only runs the Iwasaki 65K bulbs. Will the new XM bulbs work with my ballast? Are there any other options on the market?

got this from RC:

EYE ballasts are mercury vapor ballasts. they are similar to a probe start ballast, but the only bulb you can run on these are Iwasaki 6500K bulbs (because these are actually MV bulbs, not MH bulbs like most think). the ballast will damage MH bulbs if you try to run one on it.
