Thank you. The small project I had in mind needs little in terms of resources. In my perfect world there would be an 8 pin DIP microprocessor capable of running AmForth :) I was hoping that, despite my failure to find it, there existed a 14 pin DIP MSP430 with the necessary resources to run AmForth. I am not sure that 20 pins is sufficiently fewer than the 28 of a 328p to make a difference for my case.
You are 100% correct to point out that there is a wealth of available boards. I forget this all too often in my enthusiasm to make something.
