I am now thirsting for information and source code / tools that others may have developed for this single board computer. Would all those with one of these New Micros 68HC11 boards please stand up and be counted. Perhaps we can get some discussion going here. In particular I am looking for a PD Assembler(Forth) for this board. I did not purchase the one that New Micros offered because I figured that there might be a PD version available. Regards, Jack.

We're involved with 68HC11 projects. They network very nicely
serially under RS485 with other devices, such as VESTA's new MC68000
Single Board Computer with its MC68681 DUART.

I have Bert parked beside me waiting to have some wires hooked up. I am having some trouble getting a fire under me to get going again. My flu still keeps plaguing me, and arthritis too. It's fun. I picked up some books on algorithmics, nice stuff. Have you read 'Programming Pearls' by Jon Bentley, really good with nice writing. Are you interested in some 68000 books? A store near here has a great raft of them. I just picked up the 1988 Communications of the ACM for $10 which is not bad. regards john NET/Mail : British Columbia Forth Board - Burnaby BC - (604)434-5886 ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated program.

FInc also has a nice target compiler which offers a bit more versatility
than Randy's otherwise charming ROM-resident Forth system.

Let me if you need the number (I don't have it I have the Motorola docs I got from you, as well my NMI board came with a MC68HC11 Data book (doc # MC68HC11A8/D) and an HC11 programming reference guide ( doc # MC68HC11A8RG/AD ). I have also borowed some notes from a fellow that took the 68HC11 assembly language programming course that is offered by the Instrumentation and Process Control Group at BCIT. My Newmicros board NMIX-022 is a Rev 2.1 board that supports onboard battery backup for the CMOS ram. The verison of Forth is MAX Forth 3.3. I was a little disapointed on my first trial inspection of the Forth system.... After reseting the terminal input buffer and dictionary pointer to use external ram I decided to try some defintions. For some reason while browsing the manual I noticed it included both CREATE and <BUILDS . I was curious as to why so tried to redefine constant like so: : CON CREATE , DOES> @ ; 1111 CONSTANT JUNK Guess what.... It doesn't work! Closer inspection of the word descriptions indicates that <BUILDS should be used with DOES> and in the description of CREATE there is no mention of DOES> . The above definition does work if the CREATE is replaced by <BUILDS So much for MAX Forth being a super set of the Forth 83 standard... You cannot CREATE .... DOES> as you can in Forth 83. --- * QDeLuxe 1.01 #260s NET/Mail : British Columbia Forth Board - Burnaby BC - (604)434-5886 ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated program.

Would that happen to be a Forth Target compiler? Jax, do you know if there is a PD 68HC11 Forth assembler that would load on top of Randy's ROM-resident Forth system. If that is not available there should at least be a 6800 Forth assembler kicking around that could be modified for the HC11. I have downloaded all the HC11 related stuff in the BCFB library and will let you know what I find.
