Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE Hi Jax, I have been building 80188 systems for myself for quite a while now...can you tell me what you folks offer, and whether or not you have checked out the new 80C186 with static registers and ultra-low-power mode? If so, did you like it? I am also interested in any embedded software offerings you may have (embedded Forths, RTOSs, etc.) I have been writing my own, but often that doesn't pay in the long run. Thanks! (PS...If I remember my Latin, its 'Non' not 'Ne') See ya! ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated process.

>How about a Mot 68832? is that to expensive at present?
In a word, yes. We did look at this attractive chip, especially
since we already vend the SBC68K based on the MC68000 ( $295 w/ Forth).
But we couldn't see a great demand for a single board computer based
on a part as expensive as the 68832 right at this point. Of course,
Anil, if you want to order 100 of them ... :-)

Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE If the $25-$50 price of the 8052AH-BASIC is not too high, I would definitely be interested in seeing an SBC that implements the EPROM and EEPROM programming potential of this system. Although it is designed with BASIC (not a toy, this BASIC) interfacing with assembly language, the interface could also be to FORTH since the MCS BASIC-52 User's Manual gives a thorough description of the control stack (loops, subroutine control), argument stack (arithmetic), internal stack (which "grows up" rather than down which is what the other two do) and other features with enough examples to satisfy most people. With several schematics, and lots of timing information, it looks quite interesting. - d.b.

This is a super-set chip of the good old 6502. The chips can address 16 meg of external memory, have 8 16 bit timers, a 12 bit watchdog timer, 68 i/o lines, two uarts, hardware multiply and divide, 19 interrupts on 7 levels and an 8 bit a/d with 8 channel multiplexor. ( Some superset, huh ? ). Horne provides this in a target board 4.5" square with a 6k byte forth kernel ( fig forth based ). The cost for the 8 Mhz version is $200.00, and the 16 Mhz version is $225.00. Other items include memory expansion boards and Eprom programmer boards. For further information, contact : Horne Electronics, Inc. 33122 181st Ave. S.E. Auburn, Wa. 98002 (206) 735-0790 I don't have any direct experience with this board, but I understand that the principle of Horne was the developer of at least some of the Rockwell Aim-65 forth systems. ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated process.

Category 4, Topic 3 Message 42 Wed Mar 20, 1991 A.LOWNE at 22:51 EST At last I've found my way on to the New Forth Boards page!!! Triangle Digital Services of London, UK have just introduced an exciting new Forth board, which is highly compatible with their previous TDS9090 and TSDDS9092. Caledled the TDS2020, it is based on the Hitachi hH8/532 chiprocessor, with 8ch 10-bit A/D and 3 ch 8-bit D/A plus 16K Forth kernel on-chip. Up to 45K is available for program ROM, and 512K for NVRAM data-logging, which can be done at 500uA !!! Niormal current draw is 40mA. Easy hookup to lcd's/keypads and on-board watchdog timer and realtime clock make this 16- bit device a steal at $299 in 25's. Details from 716-425-3735 or fax 716-425- 3835 as I don't get to this BB very often. ERROR^^^^^^^ 716-425-3753 is correct phone no. SORRY!! ----- This message came from GEnie via willett.
