AVR-Chat

I'll chirp in here,  I've not run 98 in a while, but I do vaguely remember 
having some stability issues with the ice200 and win98.
   I know this is not exactly your problem, but may give another avenue to 
explore (or perhaps just waste more time)
   But... all my problems traced back to a flaky serial port. I was getting 
odd, hard to reproduce errors till I changed/ replaced ports. Rock solid 
after that.

   In general I find avrstudio 4.x buggier then the 3.5x. And will usually 
run 3.56 unless I must run 4 for some reason.

    I think you will have problems with avrstudio 4.x and 98se. I know it 
SHOULD work ok, but this has been my experience with other apps.
    If it's possible, (and it may not be) upgrade to win2k. Fixed a lot of 
my windows stability issues.
