If necessary, Sellam could use his free lathe to manufacture any needed
metal burrs for the PF.
On the -20 Epsons (and presumably the -40?), the HC-20 was the original
Japanese model, and the HX-20 was the model that was downgraded for the US
market (ROMs, Keyboard, and case color)

Do you remember if it was coupled with a PF-10 floppy

at the same time but I don't know if it was part of the original CNC
package. The PF is not full of metal burrs like the HC-41.

I got today an EPSON HX-40. it looks exactly like
the HC-41 that I've
been wondering about. It seems like the hc-41 is a OEM'd version of
the HX-40 with a different keyboard. The HC-41 I have was used to
control a CNC machine of some sort.
The only time I've ever seen an HC-41 was as the contoller for a CNC
lathe. I asked the proprietor of the surplus shop if I could buy the
HC-41 separately, and he said sure, buy it for $(whatever the price of the
lathe was) and I could get a free lathe with it.
