Okay, thanks. I had no idea, given my experience with the AT90S2313. Too bad Atmel charges so much. Have you used the one from Olimex? Do you recall how much it is? (I like the fact that the TI parallel dongle things are cheap and that Cygnal's are also cheap -- both are extremely convenient to use with their software, as well.)
I've actually programmed two commercial products with the AVRs and a few hobby things with them, all in assembly. It's just fine (mostly.) I liked it a lot.
