Oh that's very interesting. Is it documented anywhere? Would love to read more about that.

There is only a very short description with photo at 
http://www.somersetweb.com/BruehlConsult/Projects/S5-F-1MBd-RTX2000.html and
http://www.somersetweb.com/BruehlConsult/Projects/S5-4MB-RTX2000.html

The first RTX2000 boards for which I made the PCB layout are here:
http://www.somersetweb.com/BruehlConsult/Projects/RTX2000-MINI.html
http://www.somersetweb.com/BruehlConsult/Projects/mc-RISC-EMUF.html

All these boards I have produced in small quantities back then, and there is a last one with TFT-LCD-Interface which is not yet documented, there have been only a few samples. Dr. Olaf Haeggqwist designed a complete PC with harddisk using the RTX2000 which he used for his office. It's a pity that I never produced his PC. He passed away a year ago, way too early. He was obsessed with Forth. He could program things which other people could not.
