Yeah, what I don't understand is what all that complexity is all about.
Non-Atmel "serial emulation" USB chips appear to be much simpler than
whatever Atmel did on the mk-II.

I have a mk-II and mostly use an ICE-cube because my LP2950CN-3-3 isn't
stout enough to drive the mk-II. Was a bit surprised the mk-II is
externally powered yet apparently draws more from the circuit than the
vampire ICE-cube. No time to investigate as long as I have something
working.
