+/* Setup:
+
+ lfuse: 0xe0
+ hfuse: 0xd9
+
+ attach a 12MHz quartz to the atmega8, using the appropriate XTAL pins.
+
+ connect avr.PD{2,3} over 68 Ohm to usb.DATA{+,-}
+ connect usb.DATA{+,-} over 3v6-Z-Diode ( ----|<---- ) to GND
+ connect usb.DATA- over 1.5kOhm to usb.Vcc
+ connect usb.GND to avr.GND.
+
+ supply 3.3V to the 3.3V line of the gamecube controller.
+ supply 5V to the 5V line of the gamecube controller.
+ connect the GND and SHIELD lines of the controller to the common GND.
+ connect the DATA line of the gamecube controller to the C5 pin.
+
+ !!! ensure that the PORTC has bit 0 cleared at any time. !!!
+ !!! otherwise, +5V is supplied to the pin; the gamecube !!!
+ !!! controller, however, may shortcut the line down to !!!
+ !!! GND at any time, leading to HARDWARE DAMAGE. !!!
