Also if you have another AVR board with external crystal on you can run
that up and connect one of the XTAL pins on it to drive your defunct
board. I have rescued a few misprogrammed AVRs that way. You need to use
the output of the oscillator circuit, I can't remember if it's XTAL1 or
XTAL2 but the datasheet tells you.
