VHDL might go the other way here: to do the RTX  with additional FLASH / RAM as a running system and then comment out what does not exist in the Novix. Or an NOV_RTX as the simpler version Novix with the additional Stacks, but let's see how this project progresses.

He only has one revision 3 paper copy left and won't sell it or loan it, 
and his computer version is an old revision and  has no illustrations. 
Apparently the latest electronic version is lost. He is in the middle of 
several personal projects so this is not a very high priority project 
for him to put the illustrations and bring the text up to date, so it 
may take quite a long time before it's available if at all.

I offered to scan the illustrations, clean them up and put them in the 
text, update the text to revision 3 and return his original paper 
version and updated electronic version but he would rather do it himself 
when he has the time and come up with revision 4, which maybe would 
never happen as he as his health issues and other interest of higher 
priority.

Unfortunately this is some of the many sources of Forth information that 
is disappearing very quickly, I wish I had gotten a copy a long time 
back but I was busy with many other things, now that I have the time and 
interest I find many Forth resources have been lost, and sitting in 
peoples basement waiting to be thrown out in the trash.  So in topics of 
possible interest I been searching and hoarding information so it will 
not be lost, and publish them in a domain I own; <  www.forthlang.org
