Is there a mail list or news group for that? I read the comp.lang.forth 
for a while but found there was too much spiteful hair-splitting and 
nothing of any real value so left that one (I wasn’t on it for long 
though so that might have been just a low season). Is there a group for 
Intellasys Forths and have colorForth folk migrated there?

I’ve just skimmed the VentureForth Programmer’s Guide and it looks nice, 
but no colour! So VF is a Forth equivalent of OCCAM? Is there a 
colorForth for these chips? I can see these would be great for your 
synthesizer. For me, I still want to master USB and TCP/IP, so Pentium 
colorForth still seems the best educational approach, although I was 
getting bogged down in the Pentium machine code which wouldn’t be a 
problem on an Intellasys chip.

So far I have found it fun and instructive too, but I haven’t yet 
managed the ‘useful’!
