Z8671 is the part number for a Z8 with BASIC in ROM.  I'm not aware
that Zilog ever released a Z8 with Forth in ROM; but if they did, I'm
sure they'd have given it another part number.  The BASIC interpreter
is somewhat slow but useable for many control applications.  I built a
disk exerciser jig (among other things) with them.

Phone Zilog at 408-370-8000 and ask for the name of a distributer in
your area.
