Also you might want to look at New Micros in Dallas, TX 214\339-2204 They make
various boards using 8051, 68hc11 and soon a 68hc16. They start for abut $70 bucks and most are available with FORTH on board at least the 68hc11 which are the
only ones I have used. Their FORTH seems rock solid. If you don't like forth you
can tell the board to disable the on board ROM and stick any thing your heart 
desires in at E000. I have stuck BUFFLO chips in them and have an evb board that
runs off 5 volts. Don't be put off by these folks unconvintial add's it seems
to be an occupational hazzard of becoming an enlightened FORTH user. Tacky
folks say that it is caused from the down wash from the propellers on their
beanies.

BTW forth makes a real neat moniter for assembly programs.

Good luck
