So I created a random Bitcoin Address using BitAddress.org then took the Bitcoin address and converted it to ZCash using this format:

https://runkit.io/gojomo/baddr2taddr/1.0.4/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa6
=> t1StbPM4X3j4FGM57HpGnb9BMbS7C1nFW1r

Source: https://forum.z.cash/t/javascript-address-generator-for-zcash/2926/6

I sent funds to the Zcash output address then later checked the Wallet Details on BitAddress.org from the Private Key. The details showed the Compressed Address is the Bitcoin address shown when you generate a new address. And when you use the tool to convert to Zcash it is a different zcash address for the compressed and uncompressed bitcoin addresses.

Does the Private Key for a Bitcoin Address work for both Zcash equivalents either Compressed or Uncompressed?

For Example, here is a Bitcoin address and private key from BitAddress.org

Shown on Generation Page:
1FaMwCe5KoUd9dCNRXpqyU2UmKWYEWNh9d

Private Key:
KxyhTMUySc2q9iME8vbfH5XLZmwzsKXvL27EEkFLXmU4tP1tk9p3

Wallet Details page:
Bitcoin Address: 1gtvzqjVnExtFxR8c6BNFZkD1MnAEZJzm
Compressed: 1FaMwCe5KoUd9dCNRXpqyU2UmKWYEWNh9d

Using the Tool you get:

https://runkit.io/gojomo/baddr2taddr/1.0.4/1gtvzqjVnExtFxR8c6BNFZkD1MnAEZJzm
=> t1JZVwLFsU72ZUu1K52uJW4ffTfYrsrTESc

https://runkit.io/gojomo/baddr2taddr/1.0.4/1FaMwCe5KoUd9dCNRXpqyU2UmKWYEWNh9d
=> t1YSxwY4DJ8GDkGFGMxdy7H8Q1yhcwApHzk

I sent funds to the Compressed Zcash one. Oops or no?

Suggestion: make a post in https://forum.z.cash/ - the bitcointalk forums don't seem to be very active for ZEC.

Does the Private Key for a Bitcoin Address work for both Zcash equivalents either Compressed or Uncompressed?
import both the compressed and uncompressed keys to zcash wallet.
