 Subj: FORTH TARGET BOARD            Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

      I have received some information from Horne Electronics about their
 stand alone target board based on the Mitsubishi 7700 chips.  This is a
 super-set chip of the good old 6502.  The chips can address 16 meg of
 external memory, have 8 16 bit timers, a 12 bit watchdog timer, 68 i/o
 lines, two uarts, hardware multiply and divide, 19 interrupts on 7
 levels and an 8 bit a/d with 8 channel multiplexor.  ( Some superset,
 huh ? ).  Horne provides this in a target board 4.5" square with a 6k
 byte forth kernel ( fig forth based ).  The cost for the 8 Mhz version
 is $200.00, and the 16 Mhz version is $225.00.  Other items include
 memory expansion boards and Eprom programmer boards.  For further
 information, contact :

      I don't have any direct experience with this board, but I
 understand that the principle of Horne was the developer of at least
 some of the Rockwell Aim-65 forth systems.
