I am an academic, computational scientist, and research-programme manager, working in high-performance computing, though often found tinkering with 1980s 8-bit micros.
`store` and `load` implemented, using #JupiterAce code, as it is more robust than ZX-Forth original. This means you cannot load screens from #ZX81, though you could load screens into Ace Forth (if you can think of a use for that). With that done, I can now start coding! #minstrel4th #retrogaming

#Minstrel4th has a very nice built-in Ace Forth, so why bother? Well, Tree Forth supports sophisticated multitasking, which could lead to some interesting projects.

When you read blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2025/08/mini..., you quickly realise there is scope to "modify" the ZX81 display to a certain extent. Here I've pushed it just a little too far, but you hopefully get the idea. #zx81

There is a near-equivalent version based on Husband Forth ROM - github.com/markgbeckett...
