I found this following fix in the changelog of the latest BIOS of the 
T40/p (1RET36WW) :
http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-50273

--> (Fix) POST error handling when unsupported daughter card exists.

Maybe this BIOS upgrade changed the way they reject these cards ? I'd be
very pleased to ear some positive feedback about this BIOS fix :-)

best wishes,
