Finally, some sanity in this thread! I had colorFORTH on a TRS-80 Color Computer (chiclets keyboard). Wrote a RTTY send/receive program during evenings in the hotel over a 3 day weekend exhibiting at a motorcycle show in Cincinnati as a way to learn FORTH. When I hear the Linux fanboys bragging about the control they have, I have to smile.

Enough of these pointless operating systems. You should be running figFORTH on 
PHIMON like I do on my 1976 Digital Group Z-80  (32MB, dual PHI-decks)  :)  :)

I still have a working IMSAI 8800 with three SA-800 drives and an H19 terminal.  I can 
boot CP/M and run Wordstar, several Basics, a Pascal and a C compiler.  Plus, most of the 
CP/M-UG and SIG/M-UG disks.  I also have an Altair 8800 and an Altair 8800 
"Turnkey" (no front panel), along with several other S-100 cards.  The Altair 
ran one of the first bulletin boards in the country (Ward Christensen CBBS) for AMRAD.  I 
also have my first 5-slot IBM PC, and many versions of DOS.

The Commodore 64 also had a Z80 card, which allowed you to run CP/M.

How about a nice game of chess?
