Jan and Tristan,

If you want hardware serial you cannot really use the Arduino Uno as the 
ATmega328 microcontroller only has one UART, which is used by Forth for its 
communication. 

The ATmega2560 on the current Arduino Mega board has 2 spare UARTs. However, 
one might have to first build the Forth kernel for it. The AmForth package 
comes with a hex file for the old Arduino Mega board (fitted with a ATmega1280) 
and that might not be fully compatible with the ATmega2560...

With regards

Peter
