Yes, that's behind my original question about 760/75x memory compatibility.   IBM explicitly says in its product announcement that the batteries for the TP 755 will not work in any 760 system.   However, I could not find a similar comment about memory compatibility.   They simply say they are using "new" memory modules, whatever that means.

Could some kind soul test this out for certain i.e. will TP75x DRAM cards be recognised in a TP760 machine?

Thanks in advance
