I am a novice with amforth. 

The hardware platform is an Arduino Duemilanove Clone and a TinyUSB ISP
programmer, and the software is  
avrdude on Ubuntu,  to program the AVR chip. 

The first times Amforth just gave me errors  like "-13 xx" on some inputs... 
For instance, numbers were accepted, but any word gave errors.... 

The initial message was ok, and avrdude said the memory check was ok. 

But, I tried connecting the programmer to a port in an USB POWERED hub. 

After reprogramming the AVR, amforth now seems to work ok.

I have not made any deep tests, but "words" works, and doing simples things like
blinking one led also works.  
It may be something completely unrelated, and I may be completely wrong, but I
hope this helps someone.


My best regards.
