This is partly true.  I had bought a Fujitsu DynaMO Magneto Optical drive
which developed a rather annoying quirk where it would trash cartridges. 
And one of the cartridges that it trashed was my Programming cartridge. 
So I lost a huge percentage of all my archived source code, such as the
source to Twilight 1.0, Twilight II 1.0, Twilight II 1.1, a lot of the
modules etc.  All I had remaining was the source to the latest (still
beta) version of 2.0 which was on my hard drive.  So it's a mildly
annoying loss, but not totally defeating.

I would like to know more about the incompatibility.  My guess is that it
either is because T2 is stealing too much interrupt time (thus dropping
characters from the fax, which woudl be bad) or blanking during a fax. 
The latter could be fixed with a few SendMessage calls added to PMP Fax. 
The former would be fixed in T2 2.0.
