   A few months ago there were a number of articles posted
discussing the then newly-released Novix NC4000 Forth chip.
I am currently involved in a project which requires an
extremely high-speed programmable controller, and the NC4000
sounds like it might be just the thing.

   Does anyone out there have any real experience with the
chip?  I seem to recall that there was an evaluation board
available for the IBM-PC; anyone actually get one?  How hard
is it to design the support hardware (memory, IO, etc) around
the NC4000?  The original was supposed to run at 8 Mhz, with
faster versions to follow; have any of those emerged?

   Thanks in advance for any real-life info,
