The F# is not the Microsoft one its a version of eForth for Windows but 
32 bits, F# was a poor choice of names since there is the Microsoft F# 
which is totally different.

Dr C.H. Ting sells it, the other versions come with a meta compiler, and 
with excellent documentation a walk-through of all the words in eForth 
and how it all works,

Its a Harvard architecture CPU so I don't think they are close as the 
Mips is a von Neumann architecture.
