There's a Ghidra pull request to add hd6303/6301 - this is looking much better for doing Epson HX-20 stuff;
Copy the Processors/MC6800/data/languages/*6303* into a standard Ghidra world and run 'ant' in the data directory, restart - and it works!

Woo! Got Intext EPROM working on my Epson HX-20 after quite a fight!
After Ghidra'ing the ROM dump to figure out what the error it was giving was about, I figured out it needed me to go through BASIC and do a CLEAR to specify a 'ram file' size for it to use.
Now, to figure out a Ghidra patch.
