New Micros -- creators of the F68HC11 -- are working on a ROMmed Forth for the Super8 (and I believe the Z8). I have no idea if they are planning an FSuper8. 1601 Chalk Hill Rd., Dallas, TX 75212, telephone 214-339-2204, fax 214-339-1585. MicroProcessor Engineering Ltd. of the U.K. are adding a Z8/Super8 target to their MPE-Forth Cross Compiler line. Probably available early next year. MPE Ltd., 133 Hill Lane, Shirley, Southampton, U.K. SO1 5AF, telephone (011-44)- 703-631-441, fax (011-44)-703-339- 691. U.S. distributor is Amics Enterprises, 2604 Elmwood Ave., Suite 108, Rochester NY 14618, telephone 716- 461-9187. An upgraded Z8 with 16 bit math? No, I didn't hear of this! Any more details?
