| ** Currently I'm trying this with my relatively new Dell laptop (D600 in docking station). I read somewhere that sometimgs the parallel port pins don't match up to what they need to be (D0, busy, etc). Am I better off with an ancient motherboard and running Linux?? |

** when it does not work, starting all over again often helps. This involves *** making a new (try shorter: max 20cm long. How long did you try?) cable (IIRC: stk200 type works in both avrdude and uisp), *** using another parallel port *** another computer *** another program (uisp vs. avrdude) * see that there is no short * IIRC you tried injecting 4..8 MHz into XTAl1 pin (see atmega128 datasheet), that can help if fuses inside the AVR are already set to insane values. and see if it works. |
