There was a Forth debug/service terminal included in an electronic typewriter / typing tutor device from the 80's with an integrated CRT display. So an educated guess is that its software was also written in Forth. It was made between 1981 and 1987 and I think it was a golf ball-style printer, so if anyone have an idea as to the make and model, that would be great.



I'm guessing you're thinking of the Canon Cat. There was also a plugin board version for an Apple //e which went in the 80 column slot.
