Re: [colorforth] convergence


Randy "New Micros" Dumse's first FORTH chip was a custom mask 65something.  I
want to say it was known as the Rockwell R565F11, but I'm not absolutely
certain.  A buddy of mine bought one in 1983 (if memory serves me) and had a lot
of fun with it.  Somewhere, I have one of Randy's F68HC11 boards, that I've had
since about 1990 or so.
