Well, that certainly explains all this misunderstanding.

Speaking of which, what's the current street price for DX4/75's, and what's
IBM's price for the upgrade? When the TP755 was first introduced, I was
quoted something ridiculous like $1300.

Not to open another can of worms :-), but I don't think the motherboard has
to autosense the chip. The DX2/50 and DX4/75 both run at a bus speed of
25MHz so they look identical to the motherboard.
