When I started out with Olimex AVR prototype boards I too purchased 
the AVR-PG1B serfial port dongle. Tried to get Pony-Prog to work with 
it. Never actually got it to work before I fried it.

Then I built my own parallel port dongle. For me this has the benefit 
of freeing up my only serial port on my PC for use with RS-232 
communications.

Using the STK500 ISP10PIN connector connected to the 10 pin connector 
on the Olimex PCB, you should be able to do 10 pin ISP on those and 
other 10 pin ISP boards.

After I wrote the above I checked it out. I sent serial info to an 
STK500. From the STK500 ISP10PIN connector to an Olimex AVR-P40B-8515 
10 pin ISP connector.

I used both CodeVisionAVR C compiler and AVR Studio 3.56.
