I have the AVRISP and when programming the ATMega 8 chip I have 2 chips out of four that have locked up when been reprogrammed to the point the AVRISP programmer complains it can not enter programming mode.
I asked ATMEL about the problem and they just said that I must have the wrong fuse bits set!
IMHO why the hell should a product produced by a comercial company have a bug that allows you to corrupt the chip you are programming to the point that you can not even reset the fuse bits anymore.
Have read that this situation can be rescued with a parrallel programmaer, is there a way I can rig somthing up to reset the fuse bits other than buying another programmer?
Thanks in advance Roy.
