        Our department is considering using ASYST (a FORTH-based 
data acq/analysis system) on an IBM PC for an upcoming "Real-time
Systems" course.

        Besides any general comments on the product, could anyone 
answer the following specific questions?

 
   (1)  Which FORTH is it?  How does it compare to other FORTH
           systems?

   (2)  How does the system perform in a lab/research environment? 
           What is the system's fastest A/D and D/A single-channel
           throughput?

   (3)  Which data acq board would you recommend using in the PC?

   (4)  In a 2 floppy disk (i.e., no hard disk) configuration, is
           there sufficient "free disk" to get some real work done?
