emac_ivad_board_init
Arduino code to initialize eMac IVAD board via i2c.
When starting the eMac, the logic board or mother board initializes the IVAD board via an i2c interface so that the CRT can be used. This arduino sketch sends the commands to the IVAD board in order to initialize it. The logic board can now be removed and replaced with almost anything that can output a VGA signal.
These commands were captured with a logic analyzer during the booting process and implemented here.
This program sends the init code 5 seconds after being powered and also monitors pin 3 for button presses.
All code to control external relays was removed.

NOTE: In addition to the data connection outlined in README.txt, after supplying 120v AC to the eMac, the ivad board needs 5v applied to pins 4 and 10 of the eMac video connector in order to turn turn it on in preparation for the init sequence to be sent.
I used the 5v pin on the arduino, and when I plug in the arduino, the delay in the ardunio sketch is sufficient time for the ivad board to be ready for the init.
