< Is the blank line eater still around? > Some time last year, I heard about a machine which execiutes FORTH directly, or very nearly directly. For some reason, the name Novix, or some such, is associated with it in my mind. Does this beast exist? If so, how do we get a hold of documentation?

In article <803@whuts.UUCP>, brt@whuts.UUCP (B Reytblat) writes: [ 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. -- ...smeagol\ Steve Schlaifer ......wlbr->!jplgodo!steve Advance Projects Group, Jet Propulsion Labs ....group3/ 4800 Oak Grove Drive, M/S 156/204 Pasadena, California, 91109 +1 818 354 3171
