Steve,

I guess for the Forte series there has been no corresponding wood board, neither
A or B. These were slightly modified Super Constellation or Expert programs
running with 5 MHz speed in a wood imitating plastic housing only (very nice by
the way).

To my knowledge, Novag released as follows (only top computers: plastic version
- wood version)

Super Conny - no wood issue
no plastic issue - Expert
Forte A - no wood issue
Forte B - no wood issue
Super Forte A/B/C - Super Expert A/B/C

Only the Super Forte/Super Expert series was available with identical programs
in plastic and wooden housings.

best regards
Stefan
