Unfortunately, I don't think serial interface will be fast enough, although 
it would be acceptable for loading the data into memory.
What I'm envisioning, is a parallel connection, 8 or preferrably 16 bit, 
with the AVR just strobing pins to achieve the transfers by hitting read on 
the dataflash, and write on the other device, and letting the one drive the 
other.   I never need to "SEE" the data, I just need to shovel it.
