Maybe a new group could be set up, but occasionally, others are mentioned.

I work for a small company in Dublin (with a new office in the UK) which
uses Epson Handheld computers.

It is a true computer (based on a Z80 CPU) with many memory configurations
including BCR port, RS232 and extras: integral printer, magnetic card reader
high security EEPROM (128 Mbit).

Languages available:

BASIC (built in interpreter), Pascal, C.

It main selling point is that it has a touch sensitive pad for input
which prevents end user input error.

It is called an Epson EHT-10 here and in the UK but has a different
name in Japan.
