Hah, an old friend. A company I worked with had a Novix in 1986/1987 for prototyping purposes (early days number plate recognition system). Before we got it we had to sign an unreasonable amount of paper. Rumor had it this is the chip powering the Tomahawk cruisemissile.
Brought a smile to my face too: I had a summer job in 1986 at FORTH, Inc., and spent some quality time with my officemate's cmForth manual. (cmForth was Chuck Moore's new Forth dialect for the Novix. IIRC the manual said the multiply-step instruction didn't quite work and gave a software workaround.)
