- Z8671 is the part number for a Z8 with BASIC in ROM. I'm not aware
- that Zilog ever released a Z8 with Forth in ROM; but if they did, I'm
- sure they'd have given it another part number. The BASIC interpreter
- is somewhat slow but useable for many control applications. I built a
- disk exerciser jig (among other things) with them.
-
- Phone Zilog at 408-370-8000 and ask for the name of a distributer in
- your area.
