[Coco] ***SPAM*** Frank Hogg Labs E-Forth, which is the only thing I’ve found that won’t run on the CoCo3FPGA ?

[Dave Philipsen]

Hi Leslie.  I think I downloaded this E-Forth package and tried it on 
the CoCo3FPGA.  I *think* the issue is that the program makes 
non-standard use of the keyboard PIA data ports.  Normally one port is 
configured as outputs while the other is configured as inputs.  I think 
Gary's implementation relies on the standard usage and does not account 
for different values in the data direction registers.

As I recall, the program doesn't hang.  You get an intro page but it 
doesn't correctly decode the keyboard.
