Intended for a dedicated control system, correct? If anything in this <br>
paragraph needs updating, please go ahead, as in Wikipedia, or ask me <br>
for the change. <br>

The home page shows two machines supporting Astrobe. Neither is meant <br>
to be a workstation, correct? If so, this section isn't affected.<br>

It describes our implementation of the standalone Project Oberon workstation running on actual FPGA hardware rather than an emulator. However, because it is source and object file-compatible, the Astrobe for RISC5 compiler can also be used as a cross-compiler to develop and compile on Windows and then upload the resulting object files to be executed on the workstation.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Apologies if my replies raise more questions than answers ;-)</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Regards,</div><div class="gmail_quote">Chris Burrows</div><div class="gmail_quote">CFB Software</div><div class="gmail_quote"><a href="https://www.astrobe.com">https://www.astrobe.com</a></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br><div><br></div></div></div>
