- > Has anyone done [a Z8 Forth] yet in a PD package...
- > (I really would prefer a native Forth) - anybody have any idea
- how much [MPE's] products run?
-
- 1. I don't know of any PD Z8 Forths. TCOM perhaps?
- 2. MPE's package includes _both_ a cross-compiler and a full
- native Z8 Forth.
- 3. MPE's package costs 950 pounds U.K., or somewhere in the U.S.
- $1600-$1800 range depending on the exchange rate.

- I have designed a Forth for the Super Z8. The code is native and
- includes a built in ROM compiler. Because the NEXT loop is an
- assembly language instruction it runs FORTH like greased
- lightning for an 8 bitter. 70 - 90 K Forth instructions a second.
- 32K 16 X 16 multiplies a second. Useful for industrial control
- DSP. Object code for a version that runs on very simple hardware
- is available on Genie and the RCFB at (303) 278-0364
- 300/1200/2400 24 hours. An assembler that runs on a PC is free
- from Zilog or the below addres. Source code, Schematics in Orcad
- format and a Development Board are available from:
