I have seen copies of cmForth on the web, it's the Forth that Charles 
Moore wrote for the Novix.

I also know that the Dutch Forth Group has several copies of the 
hardware and documentation, I was interested and was told they would 
look into donation one to me but I never heard back again.

I hope they do create a FPGA version as I'm interested in that processor.
