I cant get my hands on it now (maybe some one else could point to it). I 
remember reading the ATmel newsletter that spoke about a high speed 
AVR. The device would operate around 45MHz. I was excited to use this 
part but the max program memory was something like 4KB which is why i 
did not bother. I still do not see a listing of this under product 
listings on their website!?
