Gary,
     Could you look on the daughtercard and see if there is a voltage
regulator?  As I mentioned earlier, the DX2 is a 5 volt chip, the DX4 is a
3.3 volt chip.  The only thing that would explain this mess is if they supply
5 volts to the daughtercard, and put a voltage regulator on the DX4
daughtercard.
