[comp.lang.forth] Novix Chip Operation

asson@cs.rochester.edu (Drew Asson) (08/04/88)

Has anyone had any programming experience with the PC4000 board 
from Silicon Composers?  Any experience with SCForth for this
board?  The PC4000 has a Novix Forth engine on it.  The specs
are amazing, however, I am having some problems programming it.

What I would like to do is to be in F83 (Laxen and Perry) and download
code to the Novix (I have code to do that, but it is not well documented.)
What I want to do is basically ship out to the Novix chunks of memory
for it to do math calculations on, and then have it ship them back to
me on the PC side.

Does anyone have any hints, clues, code that could help me out?
I would very much appreciate it.  What I am doing is background correction
of data ( (Data_and_background - background) / background ).  This will
be much to slow on the PC, so I want to do it on the Forth engine.  

Thanks in advance!
