I'm pretty sure that your memory is correct. Beyond the
Tx86, the drives lost the backward compatibility. In
fact there was an N variant that lost the compatibility
in the x86 line too (I presume it cost less to buy,
or maybe the cost of the backwards-compatibility parts
rose too much during the lifetime of the drive).
