    Mach2 Forth by Palo Alto Shipping Company is Mac II compatible. First
of all it runs find (FAST) on the Mac II. Second of all, PASC provides
the interfaces to the new ROM routines so you can take advantage of the
extra functionality. I'm not certain of the upgrade policy...I believe it
is either Free if you've updated to the previous version or is low priced.

I doubt there is much interest in Forth on the net but since you asked...
