	Jupiter Ace
		The Jupiter Ace was a British home computer of the 1980s, marketed by a company named Jupiter Cantab.
		The company was formed by Richard Altwasser and Stephen Vickers, who had been on the design team for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
		The major difference from the ZX81, however, was that its designers intended it to be a machine for programmers: the machine came with Forth as its default programming language.

	Jupiter Ace review. Your Computer November 1982
		THE JUPITER ACE is a radical departure from the mainstream of microcomputing, and could prove to be the start of a very important new trend.
		Speed implies heat, but there is not much danger of the Jupiter overheating, or at least a sight less danger than some machines, because inside that flimsy plastic case is plenty of breathing room and what is more, the case is better ventilated than that of the ZX range.of computers.
		Probably the biggest advantage of the Ace's picture quality over the ZX-81's is that the Ace has a rock-steady fl screen on which any printing appears in white: the ZX-8l does the reverse which is not a natural way for a computer to behave.

	Jupiter Ace Resource Site - Books that feature the Jupiter Ace
		The Jupiter Ace was not really around long enough to have many books written about it, unlike the ZX Spectrum.
		The Jupiter Ace is noted on page 4, where it talks about Forth words than are unique to the Ace which do not appear in other Forths on other micros such as the BEEP sound word.
		On the Ace (or at the least on the model used during the writing of this book), unconnected lines usually read as 0, except for line D4 which reads as 1.

	Jupiter ACE computer
		The Jupiter ACE is possibly the only microcomputer ever released which has the "Forth" computer language built-in.
		The ACE was manufactured by Jupiter Cantab from England in 1983.
		It was sold in the US as the Jupiter ACE 4000, but it was still the same computer.

	The Jupiter Ace: a Forth computer.
		Almost half of the surface of the Jupiter Ace is covered by its keyboard.
		The Ace allows you to inspect and modify old words that have gotten buried within the dictionary without disturbing the words on top.
		In conclusion, the Jupiter Ace is a nicely designed but limited computer that is appropriate for people who want to learn to program in Forth.

	Jupiter Ace FAQ
		A Jupiter Ace was a home micro produced at the peak of the home computer boom in the early eighties.
		Jupiter Cantab designed a colour add-on, which was never supplied, in an attempt to rectify the one big deficiency of the machine.
		The Jupiter Ace seems to have no 'auto run' facility, so it is necessary to do a vlist command to check what words will run the program.

		Ace went in a box in the cupboard for almost 20 years.
		I used to see the occasional Ace on ebay and marvel at the prices they were getting, but looking recently I couldn't even find any under "Completed Listings" so I guess they are even rarer now.

		The company was formed by Richard Altwasser and Steven Vickers, who had been on the design team for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
		It displayed output on a television, and programs could be saved and loaded on cassette tape, as was standard at that time.
		Some of the ROM was written in Z80 machine code, but some was also coded in Forth, giving it a very elegant self-referential operating system.

	Jupiter Ace :: Emulators : Gourt
		Although the hardware, and to some extent the software, of the ACE was similar to the ZX81 and in particular the ZX Spectrum, unlike those machines it used discrete transistor-transistor logic rather than the ULAs of the Sinclair machines.
		The case and speaker were also very similar, although there was an extra interface for the attachment of a colour graphics board that was never produced.

		Released in April 1983 at the price of £89.95, the Jupiter Ace was a rather unique machine.
		Rather than the usual BASIC programming language used by their competitors, Jupiter Cantab equipped their machine with Forth.
		In June 1983, a successor to the Ace, named the Ace 16+ was announced, but the company's demise in November of the same year meant that the machine was never released.

		The Jupiter Ace has a relatively straightforward design which makes debugging any hardware faults straightforward.
		The Ace uses two 2114s for the display RAM and two 2114s for the character RAM.
		All digital connections are made using wire-wrap wire as this is a lot thinner than conventional hook-up wire so the data and address bundles can be tied to form a neat layout.

	Cantab Jupiter Ace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This machine was described as an enthusiasts machine, I can only speculate as to why, I suspect this was because the only language available for this machine was FORTH
		The Jupiter Ace is a small machine at only 215 x 190 x 30mm with a skimpy vac formed case held together by plastic rivets.
		The computer is built round the Z80A processor at a clock speed of 1 MHz with an 8k ROM containing the Jupiter's FORTH language and 3k of RAM expandable to 51k and a Black and White display that was capable of displaying 32 characters on 22 rows and graphics of 64 x 48 pixels.

	OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : The Museum
		The Jupiter Ace was designed and implemented by Steven Vickers and Richard Altwasser after they left Sinclair Research for their start-up company Jupiter Cantab.
		As Altwasser designed the Spectrum hardware (and later computers for Amstrad) and Vickers wrote the Spectrum manual and adapted the ROM from that for the ZX-81 (as an employee of Sinclair's software sub-contractors Nine Tiles) the family resemblance should come as no surprise.
		I have two Jupiter Aces which I have recently refurbished.I wonder if any one has a circuit diagram.
