There actually was a Z80-based computer with built-in FORTH rather than BASIC -- the Jupiter Ace (1982). It was just too weird for the general public, though and didn't do very well.

- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI know. There's even instructions for how to build one online (http://searle.hostei.com/grant/JupiterAce/JupiterAce.html http://searle.hostei.com/grant/JupiterAce/JupiterAce.html, the very site that I used as a basis for my design, no less) But that has (gasp!) a screen, and while I could no doubt program it (with some trial and error, because I suck), I very much doubt I could actually build it. Maybe if this design works (dubious, but perhaps eventually), I'll give it a shot.
