You might try New Micros, Inc. at 1601 Chalk Hill Rd., Dallas, Texas
75212.  The number is (214)-339-2204.  They have several flavors of
68HC11.  The Forth is mask-programmed in the internal PROM.

I have used their boards as the basis for a battery-powered demonstrator
for an accelerometer we were working on (had fun riding the elevators
with it), and a respiratory monitor.  I think the performance is quite
good.
