I got the 4.8 hexfile from there working fine!

But I can't let it go without finding out what went wrong before :-) One
clue is that when I first tried flashing the hexes from there I got a
LOT of errors from avrude, about SPI problems, then a verify failure.
Swapping the USB cables over (I use two, one to power the arduino and
one to drive the USBtinyISP) made it a lot better, but I still needed a
few tries before I got one without verify failures. I didn't have any
verify failures when I tried before, but now I think about it, I used a
different USB *port* on my laptop... I will experiment some more.

I'd still like to get avra running and build my own hexes, but that
might be a pipe dream!

Anyway, I've been playing a bit with the amforth I have installed -
making the arduino's debug LED flash, mainly ;-)

I plan to customise it a bit (I've written up a bunch of portpin:
declarations that match the arduino pin names, and I'm working on
adapting the demonstration PWM and ADC code from lib/ into something
that, along with the TWI and SPI drivers, might be a useful wordset for
a "bus pirate" tool, letting me quickly hack around with random devices;
if I get it working to my satisfaction, I'd like to publish my .frt file
and the resulting .hexes for folks to poke into their arduinos to make
SUPER PROGRAMMABLE bus pirate clones. Woo!
