The "old school" drip and 1800 Retro kit work together. The retro kit provides the drip water from an existing zone, and can even feed a drip-only zone all by itself, provided you don't need more than the 4 gpm flow limit of the retro kit. A dedicated drip zone flowing more than 4 gpm would have separate filtering and regulation (or perhaps a combo unit)
There isn't any one page I can direct you to that will list every single item I employ for 'old school' drip, but I can list the components of the hanging basket illustration, in order of water flow:
Rainbird XT-700 distribution tubing,
Xeribug emitter,
1/4-inch "spaghetti" tubing,
support stake, and
bug cap.
Note in particular that while the Rainbird Xeribug emitters top out at a 2 gph flow, they have more emitters, with a slightly different name, that have flows up to 24 gph, that you can use in place of the more common Xeribug emitters. it's up to you to work out the numbers as to what plants need what, and what application rates best match existing spray heads that will run with the drip.
Just remember that an 1800 retro kit is intended to supply up to 240 gph, and that will help you match up emitters to the planted area they are watering.
