How hard would it be to use a SBC in a PC (connecting through
the ISA bus) to design a SBC LEAF then extract it, box it, and run
it? Would be something else!
I was thinking again about chips - the Linux creator (Linux) was
involved in the development of the Transmeta chip, and also the
FORTH creator (Charles Moore) developed not one but several
chips. What would it be like to compile Linux for the Novix chip or
another FORTH chip? Hmmm.....
Everybody knows that FORTH is better than C anyway ;)
