Here's the debug output from ds1wm_search():

ds1wm ds1wm: search begin
ds1wm ds1wm: pass: 1 r : 0x0000000000000000 writing SEARCH_ROM
ds1wm ds1wm: pass: 1 entering ASM

ds1wm ds1wm: pass: 1 r': 0xd300001085da8430 d:0x0000000000000000
ds1wm ds1wm: pass: 1 nibble loop complete, exiting ASM
ds1wm ds1wm: pass: 1 resetting bus
ds1wm ds1wm: pass: 1 found 0xd300001085da8430

ds1wm ds1wm: pass: 1 total: 1 search done ms d bit pos: -1

The hx4700 does indeed have a ds2760 connected to the ds1wm. I believe the ds1wm is integrated into the HTC ASIC3, but my knowledge of the hardware is almost zero.

Paul
