Ben you have said these three things in this thread:
(1) "Any good leads as am still looking for a small boot strapable
langauge here."
(2) "Tiny C will not work as my instruction set does NOT have
register to register
operations."
(3) "I could do Forth but it would be slow as I have no
auto-incriment registers and wound
need to use memory variables."
Ben (?), I note that on:
http://www.altair680kit.com/index.html
or more specifically,
http://www.altair680kit.com/manuals/Altair_680-VTL-2%20Manual-05-Beta_1-Sea…
Grant Stockly refers to "VTL-2" from Gary Shannon and Frank McCoy.
The manual says it requires 768 bytes to implement on a 6800 (which
has, admittedly, a pretty flexible instruction set, including good
stack operations).
Not knowing anything more about your system or the language than what
I've posted above, I still suggest it might be worth a look.
