I ran across the DEWALT DWS5031 TrackSaw Router Adapter at Amazon for $39.60.
Can I use this with my PC 690 on my Festool TS55EQ's tracks?

If I'm not mistaken, the DeWalt track saw will run on the Festool tracks right?
If that's the case, I'd think this adapter would fit too.

Yes, I've used the Dewalt adapter with Festool tracks. It works better if you mount the router off the backside of the track (the side without the splinterguard). The Dewalt quickclamps also work well on the Festool tracks.

Here's a link (not mine):

Harvey,
Thanks!
The link doesn't work - but - it looks like it might point to the FOG.
I'm a member there so I can do some follow up.
