• VolksForth for the Western Design Center Mensch Computer

  I'm currently working on a port of volksForth to the Mensch Computer System from Western Design Center (see http://www.westerndesigncenter.com/wdc/mensch_computer.cfm) I've got a Mensch Computer System from WDC as a development machine. First there will be a port of the 6502 volksForth, which will then be enhanced for the 65816 CPU in the Mensch Computer. Also driver for Printer, Modem, and Serial Line are planned. First results will be available end of January 2007.
