Yep, I read that one and several others on various forums as well as the info on lathes.uk; it's all a little confusing but apparently even if there is a 40 taper in there it sounds like it won't simply accept normal NT40 tooling and, with the motor sitting directly over the spindle, a normal drawbar system can't work so it all has to be jury-rigged even to use modified NT40 tooling.
I'm usually all too quick to buy something and hope for the best but with the machine in Ballarat and me in Gippsland there's no chance to check it out and a white-elephant purchase would make home life unpleasant
