<---Actually, for ISP programming in the 2560 (and 2561 and 128 for 
that matter), you don't use the MOSI & MISO lines for programming but 
rather UART0's RxD & TxD. But it doesn't matter anyway as most pins 
in the Mega series AVRs, can be used multiple ways - it's just a 
matter of register settings.
