FYI, apparently there's been some removal of certain threads on AVR 
Freaks. The person who said the threads were removed has their email 
host the same as the website that shows making your own JTAG ICE. I'm 
assuming that the threads were concerning this. Remember that the AVR 
Freaks webmaster, Eivind Sivertsen, works for Atmel. So I'm sure that 
they're a little sensitive to this.

IIRC, that's what the FreeICE project was all about. However, Ted 
Roth said that he hasn't seen much activity on the project recently. 
If anybody wants to help out, that'd be great.
