Since #SoloForth won't play along with the #DivMMC expansion on my #harlequin128k, I tried some of the various #Forth compilers for the #ZXSpectrum and eventually found #ZXForth also known as #SpectrumForth - I run a patched version of the original program once released by #ArcticComputing which now supports #trdos #betadisk

The patched version with TR-DOS support can be downloaded here:

[This is a remarkable piece of software. it would be interesting to see how it can be ported to other #neoretro / #retrofuture #Z80 - based machines ]
