Here is the patch for the arduino software:

http://ruggedcircuits.com/Arduino/arduino-0018-patch.txt

- a bit different serial port (but this is chip-related, not board-related)
- the board does not probably use auto-reset, an annoying Arduino feature :)
- I/O pin layout is different

I don't see any reason why amforth couldn't run on the board
(as long as we don't have any issues with the chip itself).
