Hmmm, maybe that was me. In the mid '90s I worked for the company which
made the dashboard for the Elise, and it is indeed based on a 68HC11
running Forth.  The company is 'Stack' (http://www.stackltd.com) - now
you see where the name comes from.  See
<http://www.lotus-elise.nl/Mods/Radar_Detector/BlueStack/body_bluestack.html> for what the innards look like - there are two stepper motors for the dials.
