IgorPlug USB.  No overclocking required (well, 12MHz.  I guess there =20
are AVRs that don't go that fast.)  http://www.cesko.host.sk/

this particular hack credits V-USB (not its first name, IIRC) (http://www.o=
bdev.at/products/vusb/index.html=20
  ), which is apparently a much different implementation (and much =20
more "professionally" documented.)  Its documentation includes a link =20
to Igor's page.  I don't know and didn't look for detailed "this was =20
based on that, etc" history of the concept; it's hard to evaluate the =20
importance of an initial proof-of-concept for something like this...

Igor has a SW only Ethernet too (sort of.  Transmit only.)  Scary =20
stuff.  I guess that pre-computing a "blastible" bitstream is a pretty =20
powerful concept, but not particularly exciting after the first time...
