None that I know of.  Even if they do have such a policy, it's probably
ridiculous, like the "upgrade" from 750 mono to 750C for "only" $3000.

I asked TP75x development about this when the 755 first came out.  No.

Good question.  I don't think so, but if the talk about a daughterboard is
right...  Still, do you REALLY want to cripple a Pentium with a 32bit memory
bus and a 16bit PCMCIA bus?
