Mark 1 Forth Computer (2006)

I've seen a couple of old scientific calculators/pocket computers on auction sites lately that can be programmed in Forth. Very tempting to try.

I've also seen ones that can be programmed in C, BASIC, and even Pascal. Again, magnets for my disposable income.

Are you sure it’s literally Forth? If so, can you share some keywords?

The closest thing I know of is HP 48 - not Forth, but quite Forth-like, and it definitely tought me a thing or two.

Some of the old HPs (41, 71B, 75C) had Forth interpreter ROMs available as add-on modules.
