Epson HX-20

Software

Extensions (which I have):
H20EU - RAM/ROM expansion
RF-10 - RAM-floppy and RAM-expansion by CSM GmbH (including the Mini-Boot EPROMs and the manual)
   This HX-20 was assembled by Homeier Elektronik an once served inside a plane of the German Bundeswehr.
another (NoName?) RAM-expansion
H00BR - Bar Code Wand (including software tape and manual)
another Bar Code Wand by IDIL®

   The programs are copy protected so I´ve got to re-engineer them...

RealVoice module by ACS with male voice (including "Electronic Panel for scanning, joystick, and Morse code" and scanning overlay)

Replacement for the TF-20´s CX-065B (from Sony):

A few notes:
on a MC-60 tape the maximum TAPCNT is around 6000 (5927 in one case, 5953 in a second one)
SkiWriter produces tape files named DOCUMENT.WP1 of type "1 A"
