FORTHdrive™ Available to "qualified parties"
5th April, 2008
The FORTHdrive™ has been available for several months from Intellasys but we have not been able to get our hands on one.

Do also see this _newsgroup post_ that explains some issues and constraints around distribution of the FORTH drives.
