The May 1983 issue of Creative Computing has an advertisement for the
"Jupiter Ace" with FORTH in ROM.  It looks like the ZX-8* but has "a full
size moving-key keyboard, high resolution graphics, sound, floating point
arithmetic and 3K of RAM expandable to 51K".  The version of FORTH is said
to "closely follow the FORTH 79 standard".
     The price for the basic machine is $150.  The 16K RAM pack is an
additional $50.  A 48K RAM pack is $125.  A parallel/serial interface is
$100.  The address given in the ad is:
          Computer Distribution Association
          56 South 3rd Street
          Oxford, Penna.  19363

    I'd be anxious to know the opinion of someone who buys one of these.
