For output lines from the 5V to 3.3V system, a simple resistive divider will do. For inputs, check the data sheets, but in almost all cases you'll find that the guaranteed levels on the 3.3V system are high enough and low enough to be valid 1's and 0's to the 5V system without mo

I'd agree, also 5V isn't enough to run the STK-500, and 12V is a bit too much. The regulator on the kit is a bit underdesigned, 9V is better. Get something from Goodwill, 9V at around 1A is good. And what they said on the clock speed, assuming your chips are new, they are set for
