Real Time Devices,Inc. in PA must by now, be out with an IBM PC plug-in card
based on the Harris Forth chip. This is/was supposed to be for data acquisition
and control applications.

BTW, their present line of plug-in cards is programmable in Forth. I would like
to know if anybody on the net have used them and your opinions compared to other
data acquisition and control plug-in cards or systems.
