A few years ago, I bought a STK500 development board for around $70 US.
For anyone wants to tinker with ATMEL micros without doing a bunch of
breadboarding, they are worth every penny.

I think the software could use a little polish though. For instance, I
have been unable to set up the page length when printing source code to
my dot matrix printer and it prints a header on every page. I find that
annoying.

I was also hoping to make it run on Wine under Linux so I wouldn't have
to set up another development environment but, haven't had any success
(yet).

See ya, SteveRob
