Hi Wis,

Keep in mind that the atXmegas are different from the atmegas
(without X). amforth currently cannot write to flash, so all
stuff that requires it does not work (e.g. the compiler). A
simple text interpreter works (somehow)

You may study the drivers/1wire.asm file. It is a good example. Small
but does useful things. Most of the code is in forth, not assembly.
As it should be.

I've created the section for does>, and it got significantly
shorter than I announced ;) But it is still not trivial. Let
me know, what you miss.

Fixed. Thanks for telling
