Hello,

long, long time ago ...

The rom image is available at zimmers.net. I've found an other image at
http://www.jammingsignal.com/8296/roms/ue10-can002311.bin. It seems this is
the same program, but different serial numbers. You find the string "SUO" or
"CAN" at offset 1. At Offset 5 you find a two bytes word with the following
number. I think the 002311 are deleted to 065535 when it was copied. The rom
is an option rom starting from $9000.

I've looked into the rom content and found it must be the core from the
programmiung language forth. Then i found the Forth Interest Group and an
interesting document http://www.forth.org/fig-forth/fig-forth_6502.pdf. I've
compared the document with the disassembled rom and i would say 50% is
identically.

But the rom is only the forth core! Who know more about forth? Witch
distibution is it? Who have the disk to compelete und use it?

I've found an sub routine at $99B5 witch writes at $FFF0. So this forth
version can handle the 64k memory expansion for 8096 or later.
