Briefly glancing at 6 I don't see support for JTAG ICE mkI, the original. Guessing your eBay JTAG ICE is a mkI clone much the same as the discontinued Ecros ICE CUBE was. Had many productive hours with my ICE CUBE.

An AVR Dragon is a very good $50 investment.

I'd hope Microsoft was not that stupid. During AS 6 install it detected that I did not have VS 10 or the proper .NET so it went out of its way to install those things. You already have them so I'd expect AS 6 just enhances your existing VS 10 with Atmel tools.

VS 10 runs so slow on my 3.0 GHz dual xeon that I sometimes forget what I was thinking when it finally responds to a mouse click. It appears to have not loaded and initialized that section of code until user does something to demand it. Trivial things people don't do all that often such as click on the close box to a window.  :-)
