I wonder if its possible to run linux off a power adapter...

No implementation for the MSP430 as it stands, but I can't see why not.

MSP430's only have 64K of address space, which isn't enough to run even uCLinux.

But it is quite a lot for CP/M - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M

Eh, it's low even for CP/M. MSP430s have 64K of address space, not RAM. Even the smallest CP/M machines had that. A lot even had simplistic paging hardware to exceed that.

Depending on the model, it only has 512B of RAM, lol
