Dunno, but:
A firm called Advanced Processor design, Newlands High Tech. Centre,
              Inglemire Lane, Hull HU6 7TQ, U.K.    (0482 855927)
        (they were previously called Meta-Forth)
has a VME card with a 3 times 780 performance which has Forth as its machine
code.  It is built out of standard ttl (about 50 chips), clocked at 20MHz.
A single chip (+ memory) version is around, presumably faster, although I do
not know about the speed.  Their boards are badge engineered in the U.S.A. by
              Xycom, 750 North Maple Road, Saline, Michigan 48176.
              (313) 429 4971.
