Good example of fair use, I guess :)

http://www.case2000.com/ocd.html has some info about these secret
JTAG commands, perhaps that may be helpful...

The serial port speed looks like a bottleneck for JTAG ICE anyway -
a parallel port JTAG interface may be faster (and cheaper, too).

Is it realistic (no large tables) to implement 3DES in the small
AVR bootloader area (max 8K on m128)?
