According to the manual and the article (I have both) it was written for both.
I have the 6502 version. It's possible I have a papertape of the 6800 version.

I've been hunting for a Tiny BASIC interpreter for the 6502, written in
6502 assembler with source. I haven't been able to find such a thing.
Anyone have one floating around?

HI Jay
I thought Tom Pittman's TB was for 6502? ( or maybe 6800?) As for TB's that are ROMable, I have PaloAlto Tiny
Basic in a 2K
ROM for 8080. It has been enhanced from the version that was
published to include the ability to extend. It currently runs in a
Poly88. I've extended the instructions to do PEEK, POKE and
SAVE. I also have StarTrek that runs under it as well.
I've disassembled it and made a commented listing. Most of the
comments are from the original list with some of the spelling errors
fixed. I've added comments about the extention of commands
but that is easiest understood from my listing of the extentions.
I've sent it to someone that put it on a web page but I don't
recall who or where.
I also have Tom's code as well but didn't finish playing with it
when I found it didn't fit in 2K. It was 2K plus about 20 bytes
as I recall. I'm sure I was intending to use it on my SYM-1 so
it must be 6502.

There were several that are romable. Also there was LLLBasic
(Lawrence Livermore Labs) a 5k basic that was also romable
(and available on rom).
I have that in hardcopy as part of a Best of Interface Age anthology
Volume 1 Software in Basic. That had LLLBASIC for 8080, Dr Wangs Palo
Alto TB, National NIBL, and Robert Uiterwyks 4K 6800 basic (floppy
rom experiement).
I'd be surprized if most of that wasn't already on line somewhere.
