No, it's not. HMX was introduced before the company deployed PowerPC
based Xterminal.  ThinStar was WinCE WBT.  It was actually
made with two variations; one equipped withVr4300 and anther with
"MMX Pentium-compatible."  Quite myteriously the company attributed
their products as lower-end for Vr and higher-end for Pentium.
The company released later QED52xx Xterminal to fulfill the
customer demands (not all people on this planet want to have Windows).
More interestly, the company brought SA-1110 portable
driven portable WBT early this year and recently has sold away the
entire ThinStar WBT line to another company.
