I am interested in the cheapest (dirt cheap) microcomputer (not a microprocessor: must having timer, I/O on chip) for which I can get a FORTH kernel and still pack application code on board.

A real cheap way of doing this is getting ahold of a Jupiter Ace Microcomputer. This is a machine built in Britain around 1982-3. It was marketed in the US but not very well. It has FORTH built in, instead of Basic. I know it has limited memory 4-16K (I think). It may not be easy to find in the States. You might be able to find one from a net reader in the UK. If you find one let me know, I am interested in getting one myself. Tim Swenson tswenson@dgis.dtic.dla.mil
