I have an Epson PX-8, but it only seems to have the Wordstar ROM, and not the BASIC ROM as I would have preferred.

Does anybody know how I can get hold of one of these?

In its current state, it is little more than a glorified typewriter.

The Geneva is far more than a glorified typewriter. It is a very capable 8-bit computer running CP/M, and much of the software available for that OS. A 'must have' program is the PX8VFS program, available here:

...which will allow you to load programs to the PX-8 from another computer.
