    I know you're a Forth fan, so I can't resist suggesting you
    look at:
       www.mpeltd.demon.co.uk/usbstamp.htm
    which uses a single chip 60MHz ARM (128k Flash, 64k RAM) with
    an FTDI USB chip glued on the side. I can recommend the FTDI
    chips, they are ease to design with and all the host drivers
    are free of charge.
