 Payne's 8051 Forth system Has anyone who built the Payne 8051 Forth development system experienced problems running it on AT class machines and/or on Windows in a DOS box? I built this system some years ago. While it ran fine on an XT,
on AT machines it would not properly receive disk blocks from
the 8051 board. (As I recall, disk blocks sent by the 8051
would sometimes appear on the screen rather than be written
to the disk block file).
Has anyone had the same problem?
While I'm using Payne's software, I'm not using his hardware.
Actually I've never seen Payne's schematic so I don't know how
far it differs from mine. I designed my own hardware based
on the software listings. While hardware differences might
account for my problem, somehow I doubt it as the problems
seems to be all at the PC end.
Lastly, does anyone know if there were ever any software
updates?
thanks,
Ed

I have worked with Payne's Forth a long while ago, but found it very complicated, so we wrote our own. The name is 8052-ANS-Forth and there are versions for 8052, 80C535, 80C552, 80C320. I also ran it on an 8052 version on the 80C251 architecture. You need however an 32kByte EPROM for the code, the other 32kByte
are RAM. So quite simple.
It's based on the official dpANS document. And we have written an
english language manuel for it. Our users group has also developped
a printed cirquit for the 80C535 and sell it at the price of the components.

I don't think the Forth from Payne is ever updated. Our version still lives however, because we wrote the metacompiler and all sources ourselves. Let me know if you are interested. Quote: > thanks,

Thanks for the info about your 8052 Forth. I assume it won't work on an 8051(?) I'll check out the website. Yes, Payne's Forth has some drawbacks. Indirect-threading makes
it's a bit slow on a basic 8051. Also being Fig-Forth put's one in
something of a timewarp! On the plus side, however, it's a complete
development environment which makes apps creation/testing very
easy.

I never Ran it on an 8051, why would you do that, or do you have a sypply of tons of free 8051's? I don't think it is much of a problem to change the compiler to generate an 8051-version. The greatest differences are 128 bytes instead of 256 bytes Ram and one less timer i think. The price is not much of an issue i think. Quote: > Yes, Payne's Forth has some drawbacks.

Our system also comes with a complete development environment, we have a Windows and DOS-based server nowedays. And online help on all supplied words, lots of examples, autostart function, relocatable compiler for generating rommable code (there is an 8-kByte gap in EPROM for users program's, etc. So why use an outdated system?

Payne's 8051 Forth system Seeing this thread, reminded me that I happen to have Payne's book on the shelf. Is there a URL to the Source code that is referenced in te book? I may not use it but it would be nice to have the code on disk to match the book. One never knows. Your 8051 ANS Forth has me interested, It might work out nice on a Dallas
TINI (8052 based) MCU I have.
Is there a URL to info about it?
Thanks
Earl

You might consider our umbilical Forth for the 8051 family. It's free for downloading under the LGPL license, has a 500 byte kernel, is now call-threaded for speed, and a previous version, V4 I believe, was ported to the Dallas C320 in about 2 hours. An umbilicial, or tethered, Forth uses the host computer for compilation,
editing and heads while the code fields are downloaded via a serial link
for interpretative execution. Much faster development cycle with smaller
requirements on the Target micro.
We've moved on to the new generation of 8051 products, mainly Cygnal with
their 1 or 2 clock cycle/instruction at 25MIPS but there is a port to the
80C552 which should be extremely close to the Dallas part. If you need
help give me a jingle.
