Epson EHT -40 Handheld 386

Hi All.

I recently acquired one of these little machines hoping to use it to store some G code from my CNC lathe. Both the PC and the lathe are RS232 serial ports.
I cannot find any information online about the EHT 40 except some very basic stuff.
Does anyone have any documents for this machine?
Any information would be very helpful.

Thanks Keith (UK)

The computer is DOS based 6.22
Approximate size 90 mm x 180mm x40mm.
On screen Keyboard
9Pin D socket
Power supply socket
2 x PCMCIA slots
Approximate date of manufacture is 1995
I think they were originally intended to be used with barcode readers in warehouses or as Point Of Sales terminals.
On the back there is an iRDA port a docking station port and some brass connectors which may be for charging.
I have found very little information on the net.
There is something on YouTube but it isn't very helpful.

Many thanks,

Keith

BuMPing this a year later as I have an EHT-30 on the way.
There's very little information available online beyond one video from ExTableta a few years ago.

There is zero information on the printer, much less a part number other than it's likely using the PCMCIA slot. There is a docking station available with the P/N H1020AEA which is similarly unobtanium (but not really needed) and the battery is in fact an InfoLithium NP-F550 cell, looking at photographs.

Any idea what the difference is between the EHT-30 and EHT-40 are?

I can't help but the grandfather of both is the ETH10 with a Z80.
