Hi Tom,

If I remember (it's a while ago) The MISC M17 was designed by
Charles Johnson(?).  I remember paying some money at a Forth Conference
long ago.... There was an assembler being given away on floppy disk.
see  http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~koopman/stack_computers/sec4_3.html for
some detail on the architecture, instruction set etc.

Does anyone know if Minimum Instruction Set Computers Inc. is still
around?
