The German Magazine "mc" (Franzis-Verlag, Muenchen) is introducing a board
(Europe size, 100 * 160 mm) with the Forth Processor RTX2000 (Harris), 8 MHz,
64 Kbyte RAM, 24 I/O lines, and RS-232 interface. Neither PAL nor GAL is
needed. Part I of the article (issue 5/89) describes the RTX architecture.
The board itself will be described in detail next month (6/89, 29-May-89).

So what is wrong with your address? > From: gamber (Johannes Teich) > To: unido!uunet!hoptoad!noe!marc (external) Well, let me repeat it here shortly: I posted the address of "Forth-Gesellschaft e.V." (a non-profit community) some weeks ago. But you may better contact the manufacturer (Dirk Bruehl) of that board. The Minibee-MB-RTX2000 costs DM 2000.- , which is about $1060.- . Bruehl Elektronik Entwicklungs-Gesellschaft mbH Forth-Gesellschaft e.V. Hegelstrasse 10 Postfach 1110 D-8500 Nuernberg D-8044 Unterschleissheim Germany Germany Phone ++49-911-359088 I called Dirk Bruehl and gave him your address. I hope he will send you the documentation. The board has 6.67 MHz (Option 8), 128 Kbyte ROM, 64 Kbyte RAM (1000 Kbyte externally), 5 Volts, 2 Watts, 100 x 100 mm of size, TTL terminal interface, with a Forth interpreter/compiler (Forth-83). There will be a new board soon, 100 x 160 mm, about the same price. Meanwhile, I heard of another new RTX board "WIESEL-2000", 100 x 160 mm, with prices from DM 2495.- (8 MHz 32K RAM) till DM 4495.- (12 MHz 128K). The board has an UART 16C450 and a Transputer link (Inmos IMSC012).
