PATCH PADS?  I saw a photo of a Dragon with a ZIF socket soldered in 
palce, I assumed this would work.  How in hell do I mount the socket to 
the Dragon? What a stupid doggoned design.   Now I assuem I'l have to 
desolder the doggoned socket, as well. *HUMPH*

    I cannot access AVRStudio Help files, as the wonderful people at 
Atmel programmed it to require IE to be installed on the system for the 
help files to work, and I WILL NOT install that misbegotten piece of 
CRAP on my system. Too many things default to it if it is installed.


  I am getting very frustrated. I can't seem to get the STK-500 to 
connect  to the ATtiny25 either. I have set the ISPROG header into the 
SPROG1 header, and used two jumpers, for XT1 to PB5 and RST to PB3.  
AVRStudio keeps telling me there is a problem no matter what I ask it to 
do, Can;t read the signature bytes, can;t write to it, can't erase it.
