[comp.lang.forth] ROMmable Forth for Z80?

yoshi@nocusuhs.nnmc.navy.mil (Dojun Yoshikami) (02/22/91)

I'm putting  together a Z80 machine, and the original plans call for some
oddball monitor that you can laboriously burn into the prom.  Well, I'd far
rather burn in a *nice* Forth interpreter (the smaller, the better) into
it.  One of my friends mentioned a Zen-Forth (?).  Is this feasible?  And
where can I get a copy of the source of a rommable Z80 Forth?  (It doesn't
have to have much of anything (i.e. BLOCK, BUFFER, etc. can be absent as
there is no disk drive, but I certainly hope : CREATE DOES> would be part
of it).  I sure hate to have to grind out lots of Assembly code when I could
really have a Forth interpreter of some kind.  (Hey!  There's gotta be one
out there!)

Help ?!
