	there are a number of chips available with on-chip
	FORTH.  Rockwell and Novix for example (Novix sell
	single board versions - very fast, but in the $3,000
	range if I remember correctly).

	Motorola sells a microprocessor (68H11 I believe)
	with on-chip ROM.  an outfit call New Micros (Dallas,
	TX I believe) sells a chip with FORTH programmed into
	the ROM.  with 3 chips (TTL oscillator, LT-1080, and
	the 68H11) and 5V, you're in business. for about $200
	you can buy a board ready to go (it has more than 3
	chips - extended memory, addition chip sockets, etc.)
