HP 71B - FORTH/Assembler ROM from 1984

This is video is about the HP 71B FORTH/Assembler ROM from 1984 which added the FORTH programming language and a Saturn code assembler to the 71B.

In the video I talk about some of the history of FORTH, its basic usage, HP's FORTH extensions and how FORTH relates to RPL. I also talk about using the assembler to create FORTH primitives, LEX and BIN files.

In the video I use Mark Fleming's MultiMod ROM emulator. For more information about the MultiMod check out the following article:
