 You can buy the Max-Forth ROM from New Micros Inc and plug it right
 into your EVB board.  Call them at 214-339-2204 for more information.

 Several of us in our BC Fig chapter have purchased the New Micros
 NMIX-0022  F68HCll  development board which has Max-Forth in the on
 Chip ROM.   Cost for the NMIX-0022 is about $265 US which is about the 
 same as the EVB ( Educational group purchase price for EVB are as low
 as $ 68 US per board ).

 Apparently you can also do a direct replacement of the 68HC11 on the
 EVB board with the New Micros F68HC11 version.  Cost of the replacement
 F68HC11 is about $37.

 Several people have developed their own Forth for the HC11 but they tend
 to keep the somewhat proprietory.  To my knowledge there are no 
 PD/Shareware versions available although  Frank Sargent indicated he 
 plans to Port PYGMY Forth to the 68HC11.   I have been working with
 Franks 68HC11 assembler which he wrote for PYGMY Forth which runs on
 the PC.   If you want to see what we're up to with the HC11 join the
 4TH-HDW conference.
