Bottom line: If all you want to do is play with Forth on the '71, and not assemble Saturn code nor use the HP-41 translator's unique features, then I'd suggest getting whichever is cheaper, since their Forths are almost identical.

By the way, you can freely download both as ROM images (they are both on this LIF-disk image), and install either one in a IRAM, if you own a PIL-Box, and if you can FREE a big enough IRAM to hold the ROM image.

Hi Joe,

Thanks very much for your response! This information is very helpful.

I have not yet experimented with any emulator - that sounds like a great way to try things out first.
