[ColorForth] Success/Failure report

[Jorge.Lehner@xxxxxxx]

Hello!

Finally I got colorforth working, and did my first stumbling '3 4 +'es

I used  c4-800x600-p2bd-03.zip, that is: 800x600 resolution and
non-DMA floppy access.

The computer is a Compaq Presario 1680 Notebook (with the left display-base
broken ;-(

It uses a Mobile Pentium MMX at 200Mhz, with 64 MByte Ram.

Chipset PIIX4 revision 1 (8086/7110)

Floppy Controller is a post-1991 82077

Video Chipset Neomagic Magic Graph 128XD (NM2160), 2 MByte Video Ram,
with a 800x600 color TFT display and VESA VBE 2.0 Bios by Neomagic.
