I have 15 PSC1000 chips, unused in a waffle pack. PSC1000A-CNXT
0026/R60470.1 to be precise. These are 32 bit dual stack machines which
can be clocked at 100MHz and of course, as essentially a Chuck Moore
design, run Forth very well.

AKA ShBoom and Ignite, these were made by Patriot Scientific.

Worth eBaying?

Patriot was, and ever is, a speculation scam, like Trumps
Truth Social that collects losses, then expands with issue
of bonds or mergers. They bankrupted Chuck Moore (remember the
villa that he was building?). Patriot extorted millions from
Intel. I hear that Moore aligns with libertarianism, interested
what he thinks now.

At the time I wanted to purchase this chip from Europe.
There was no response. Would I purchase these chips now?
I guess not, with all the RISCV and ai stuff actual.
There are certainly people interested in legacy stuff, so
put it on eBay.

Single T800 transputers doing 40 euro's, still. Also from
that era. (but they were used in industrial setting.)

I don't think Patriot started off as a scam, though that's what they
became. There were a few iterations of ShBoom, the ones I have work
well and the documentation is good. They tried pushing the Java angle,
but it's a Forth chip really.

I was a keen RTX2001 user in a real (and successful in its niche market) industrial controller, and the PSC1000 seemed a good next generation
upgrade, but it was not to be.

It means you're obsessed with the guy - he's always present in your

Forth has been doing it for decades. I threaten him with eviction
