Looking for someone to discuss technical issues involed with building RTX 2001 system. I plan on converting cmForth (used on the Novix 4000) to RTX 2001. Then changing that to F83 standard. There are numberous issues (hardware and software). I am also looking for mpFORTH (F83 for the Novix 4000). Am I the only one on this network that is building a Forth system based on the RTX 2001??????? UUCP: ames!ncar!noao!asuvax!gtephx!kaliorm Mark Kalior 1729 E.

Mark...
Have you contacted Silicon Composers? They make a whiz-bang
board around the RTX... call 415-322-8763.
Cheers...

Maybe... on this network... There is a lot of activity around RTX in the 'Forth-Gesellschaft e.V.', Germany. I for my part am not lucky enough to have time for the RTX at the moment, but I have an RTX developing system with an 'engeneering sample' RTX2000. At the 'electronica' exhibition in Munich, Germany (Nov 88), I had a demo running, taking four voices out of a sine table and feeding a loudspeaker. (Not just sine: each tone fading by a series of multiplications.) There's also NC4000 and mpForth in the drawer. cu Johannes Teich UUCP: unido!cosmo!gamber D mcvax!unido!cosmo!gamber \ (gamber - that's me) Fido: 2:507/414.20

We have designed a system with the RTX2000 from Harris which is the more expensive pin-compatable brother to the RTX2001 (which I understood from Harris is not yet available). It has more stack space and an on board multiplier. We developed our own Forth which has a nice mix of ideas from other Forths (including cmForth). We also developed an optimizer based on the optimizer of cmForth. Since our Forth was developed from pd models, it is pd material. You could use this Forth if you want or check in Dr. Ting's MORE ON NC4000 Vol. 10. It contains a port of cmForth to the RTX 2000. rob@idacom
