"Your computer should recognise your micro:bit as a new drive."

Just support data, I should have snipped it. Both these quotes
are from Matthias Koch's Mecrisp Stellaris README file included
in the distribution. 


The web page noted above says that to use the MicroBit I will
need "a PC running Windows 7 of later, or a Mac running OS X 10.6
or later", so I also would probably not choose to work here.

Just flashed Matthias' version of the J1 Forth system into an
FPGA following his instructions.  This system is built entirely
with open-source tools.  Just two command lines: flash FPGA,
launch terminal emulator.
