I have the Mill 6809E coprocessor card for my Apple II+. Unfortunately, it doesnt like my Z80 Softcard :-( All the forths i've tested personally are indirect-threaded; I've conceded to myself that I'll have to create a direct-threaded version of Mad Apple Forth eventually... As for the ROMable forth, I would *LIKE* to be able to create a version for the Mill, and a version for the Apple Firmware Card (takes place of normal ROMs). I figure, even with the Firmware Card active with ROM, most applications should NOT notice the difference. For those who dont know (i see some dont) the 65802 is version of the 65816 which is pin compatible with the 6502 and 65C02. The tests I ran were done on a IIc equipped with the 65802 chip. The IIgs has a 65816. The major differences include the ability to use 16bit registers and other addressing mode...
