The early NGs had analogue backup instruments, however later the mini PFD backup was introduced and actually required as a third attitude source for the fail operational autoflight system option. It contains its own attitude system, but gets the heading from IRS 1.

I had the six pack quite often jump out when the recall check was done too snappy. Usually a short frantic search was required to get it back and then put it back into its socket.
