If you could find an old Sparc workstation, their bios was written in Forth
and was available on the command line.
I was going to learn Forth back when and had an old IPC or IPX, but never
got much further than that.

Forth was great for what it was.  Probably best for small control systems.
 If my memory serves me right
it was initially written to control a telescope... but that could just be
hearsay.
