Scott, you've hit it right on the money.  It's news to me that 6.1.7
supports this, because I can't *try* 6.1.7: I am, indeed, using one of
the older P75's.  I can only hope Ascend gets around to providing this
release in b.p75 format.  (In fact, there are no b.p75 images for any of
the 6.1.x versions).  Thanks to all who have answered, including Kevin
Smith.
