One superb example is the MSL16 microprocessor.  See Leong, P.H.W, P.K.
Tsang, and T.K. Lee, "A FPGA based Forth microprocessor", pp. 254-255, in
Proc. IEEE Symp. on FPGAs for Custom Computing Machines 1998, and at
http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~phwl/msl16/msl16.html, and Paul Lee Wai Lun's
thesis and presentation, "FPGA Implementation of a Forth Processor", at
http://home.hkstar.com/~wail/project-7260/project.htm.
