F-I class kept PCX-T processors to the bitter end.  You're thinking of
E class, I think, which are all PCX-L.  Really, we're just waiting for
a V class to turn up in resource recovery to start work ;-)

Looking at the T600 in the hwdb..
        Miura LAN/Console (J2146A) -- completely unlike anything else
	Countach LAN/Console -- same as Diablo & KittyHawk CSY LAN/Console,
				doubt we care.
	Skunk SCSI -- its the SPIFI chip, probably supportable.
	Wizard SCSI -- also in E/K class, probably supportable too.
	Skunk Centronics -- also in E/K class, probably supportable.
	Emerald Console -- unique
	Java IOA -- unique

there's actually less unsupportable hardware in there than i thought,
but i'm still not really interested in it.
