I hate my tools !

2005-08-14 by Lasse Madsen

Is it possible to purchase a WORKING programming dongle that will replace my
current no good totally useless piece of Kanda crap STK200 dongle.

It must work from 1.8V to 5V and support standard SPI programming.

I'm fed up with my damn Kanda device letting me down once every month and
always two days before my deadline this is not the only time this has
happened I'm sick and tired of my "tools" not working 

The dongle I'm looking for must be totally isolated able to withstand a
hellfire missile and if I tell it to program a totally shorted AVR processor
then it must burn the shorts making it work again... 

I'm so mad right now that cost is really no issue, as long as it works and
its one billion percent reliable, in environments from deep space to the
polar circle and finally on the sun it self...

Since my Kanda properly fucked my parallel port up I'm in no mood for
another obsolete serial or parallel port dongle that I have to purchase an
old Pico line 8086 pc in order to operate successfully... 

There must be some USB, Firewire, PCI or even PCMCIA card that can be
purchased that just works...

Please give me a lot of response to what tools you are using and please
please please tell me if they work every day or you must walk three times
around a berry bush and sing Indian songs to make it work very other day...

Regards
Lasse Madsen
