Advance Notice



I have been working for the last three years on a number 
of products/projects to take advantage of FORTH and its
superior capabilities in the hardware arena.

In a sense DYOP is a side show. At least at this time.

What I will be offering is a series of relay, I/O, DAC/ADC,
counter, RTC, and I2C boards and software. All run off a PC
parallel port.Up to 7 relay boards can be driven from a 
parallel port. Other boards as well.

This stuff is all low cost. Four 5A 48VAC/DC relays will go
for $39.95. (I won't rate them at 120VAC because the boards are
not UL approved. The relays are.) Most of the other stuff for less.

I have some articles written and more in the works.

Gentlemen. Lets do applications and articles. Here is a 
chance to use that old 286 as a controller.

Back to the roots of FORTH.

For FORTH right now the desktop is a dead end.

There will be in time >1000 micros doing 'stuff' for every 
desktop. Margins are lower and the work is harder. But hell,
what are we here for?

Lets win back the control market.

Publish, publish, publish.

The rest will take care of itself.
