You might try New Micros, Inc. at 1601 Chalk Hill Rd., Dallas, Texas
75212.  The number is (214)-339-2204.  They have several flavors of
68HC11.  The Forth is mask-programmed in the internal PROM.

I have used their boards as the basis for a battery-powered demonstrator
for an accelerometer we were working on (had fun riding the elevators
with it), and a respiratory monitor.  I think the performance is quite
good.

I understand from a reply in another forum that forth compilers exist 
for programming the HC11 microprocessor family. Is any netter in this 
newsgroup using forth for this purpose and is it possible to get some 
idea of cost and availability of compilers for the HC11 (basically superset 
of motorola 6801 code I think).
