>    Does anyone remember hearing about a machine called the Jupiter Ace?

It was in fact one of those home computers made by Sinclair, England.
I think the machine model the Ace used was what they called there the ZX-80.
I recall these computers were sold in the States by Timex, possibly
under another model name.
Somebody replaced the ROM to provide Forth instead of Sinclair's Basic.
Z80, 16Kb I think, rubber pad keyboard, 25*40 B/W video output.
It disappeared since Sinclair released an enhanced model with colour.
The good old days.
