I have been told by the software house who supply us
at work that there
might be some old PX4s and PX8s in their storeroom which no-one wants any
more. Does anyone know what these are?
I gather that htey may be some sort of intelligent terminal as the chap
comcerned said they they used to be used on site and then plugged into a
modem to upload the data to their main database.
If they are made by Epson then they are early 8 line LCD screen laptop
machines running CP/M, at least the PX8 is, never heard of a PX4 personally.
They had a neat little thermal printer option too that anyone with the mini
din pinouts and some cable making could adapt to a nice printer for a serial
port on another machine, such as a PC (right Max?) but they'd have to use
thermal fax roll paper in it.
Help at all?
