I am interested using the Rockwell FORTH microcomputers for some home
applications.  The microcomputers' internal ROM contains all the run time
FORTH words with a separate ROM providing the remainder of the FORTH system.
Since I have a FORTH system running on my IBM PC, my intentions
are to use the PC's editor and disc storage to write programs for the FORTH
microcomputers, have the PC appear as a terminal to the microcomputer, and
transfer the programs to the microcomputer as if it was being typed on a
terminal.

What I am interested in is whether anyone has used these Rockwell chips; and
if you have, what your experience has been.  Also, I am interested
in finding a source for buying either bare boards or kits for constructing
a one board system based on these microcomputers.  My final goal is to have
boards which contain only the microcomputer and interface IC's for building
small distributed processors.

Another option would be not to use the separate ROM but to link words
written on the PC directly into the internal ROM, but it seems that a meta-
compiler is needed which I do not have.
