Doh!  Indeed you are correct.  My bad.  My eyes must have deceived me
earlier - I specifically went to the interrupt vector table, page 56
to check.  Somehow I went away with "UART" but it clearly says
"USART".  (Mental note - schedule eye exam.)

I agree that the header files appear to be inconsistant.  Strangly,
the only parts that are referred to as "USART" are the ATmega169 and
the ATmega162.  Looks like all the other parts use "UART."

No change - as I mentioned, I read the datasheet incorrectly.  Sorry
about that.  And to agree with you, the mega128 is indeed quite nice -
I like it alot :-) (See sig).
