I tried to send this out 5 weeks ago, but I don't think it made it.

There was an article in "Electronic Design" March 21 1985, plus a short
article in Byte (sometime in the last 2 years) about the Novix NC4000.

I am developing a C compiler for this chip & have a Novix Development system
to play with.  I also have the documentation (although it contains proprietary
info, so there may be limits to what I can say from it).  So I will be able to
answer some questions about the chip.  On the other hand, I am NOT a FORTH
fan or expert, so don't expect my answers from that perspective.  I am also
just getting started on this, so it may be a week or 2 before I can answer
technical questions accurately.
