[ summary: Does the Novix chip exist? ]

Novix is still around and chips/boards are somewhat available.  I understand
that Charles Moore is selling a *very* basic board (unpopulated board, you
get the needed RAM's etc.) with a Novix Forth chip for about $420.

Novix has a beta board available which, as I recall, includes a very good Forth
compiler, about 64K of 35 nsec RAM, 2 USARTs, piggy-back connections, streaming
tape interface, hard disk interface, floppy disk interface for about $3500.

Addresses for more information:

Charles Moore
		Computer Cowboys
		410 Star Hill Rd.
		Woodside, CA
			94062

Novix
		Novix
		19925 Stevens Creek Blvd.
		Suite 280
		Cupertino, CA
			95014

		Phone for Novix is +1 408 255 2750

I would suspect that for about $4500 you could put together an interesting
system using the Novix beta board.
