OK.  Several sources agree.  The Yamaha CX-5M has (effectively) one
DX-9 in it, along with the Z80.  (I still think I heard of a rather
powerful CX-5 about six months ago.)  Yamaha is currently out of stock
on CX-5M literature, but they expect "10,000" copies in soon.

From other Yamaha literature...

TX7 FM Tone Generator :  one "6 operator, 32 algorithm" generator with
32 voice memories and 32 function memories - similar to the DX1.  The
TX7's 32 function memories may be used to 'augment' the DX7's one func mem.

TX216, TX816 FM Tone Generator System :  A rack mountable system.  The
216 has two TF1 tone generator modules, and the 816 has eight.  Each
module seems quite similar to a TX7, although the TX7 has more front
panel controls.

KX88 MIDI Master Keyboard :  An 88 key "initial & common after touch"
keyboard with a moderate number of controls which can be associated
with various MIDI functions.  The illustrated configuration shows a
KX88 connected to a QX1 Digital Sequence Recorder connected to a
TX816.  The TX816 may be programmed or played from the KX88.

DX5 :  This is somewhere between a DX7 and a DX1 - 76 keys (velocity
and after touch), two six operator, 32 algorithm tone generators,
generally double the memories of the DX7, and lots of buttons.

Sounds like a pretty impressive array of equipment.
