I'd imagine that this would happen with *all* RPC-2 drives.  The changes
from RPC-1 to RPC-2 were to move the region checking into the drive
firmware and to only allow 5 region changes before permanently locking
the region code.  All new drives since RPC-2 was introduced a few years
ago are RPC-2, annoyingly.

Basically, you need to hunt around on the net and see if you can get
some RPC-1 firmware for your drive.  There's something out there for
almost every drive I've ever encountered.
