Unless we are restricting to just Amurican machines,
the HC-20. The HX-20 was the later "Americanized" model (deletion of
katakana from the char generator and repainted beige (formerly gray)).
There were some in the US, at places like HudsonSoft. I had two for quite
a while before they released the US model. (Roger has them now.)
