I have a few around here as well as a 16F84 programmer. While much nicer 
than a 8051, it isn't the best alternative as a Forth processor.

See the "chips" page in the Ultratechnology site.

It never was in production, but I think Jeff still has some prototypes 
he is selling (see the "store" page). If you can find some serious 
money for this, I am sure production won't be a problem. If you want to 
start out small, then consider programmable chips (FPGAs).

The only way it could be more impressive would be if it was powered by 
the movement of the mouse (tiny generators connected to the ball). I 
guess that would beat a pedal powered PC ;-)
