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?
