Presentation notes:
- SEAforth is the hardware implementation
- VentureForth is the software, but it is NOT ColorForth, it
uses ascii text, not quite ANSI, it is the chip's assembly language
- ColorForth is the software development environment, with OKAD
extensions, not visible to users
- Native ColorForth - meant to be run anywhere, to be
introduced soon, reprogrammable user interface, and keyboard input
- Home Theatre Wireless System - first commercial application -
to equalize and balance setup of speakers
- Altera FPGA processor inplementation of SEAforth now runs at
250 Mhz
- 40 core version of the chip will have more A/D
capabilities
