Hi Tom
 Harris still sells the RTX2000 parts in mil-spec. They
are still used for satelites. They were fast at the time they were first
released but as an example, a Forth I wrote for the ADSP2100 parts, running
at 66MHz, executes Forth code as fast as a 20 MHz RTX2000 and uses about
the same power( I believe they only made 10MHz RXT2000's ). Dwight
