OT: AVR programming using SP12?

[Roger Merchberger]

Finally git my AVR 8515 programmer built and debugged -- I chose to build 
the programmer around SP12 -- it's a dos-mode programmer, but says it 
supports Win2k.

Got everything built, plug 'er in, and no matter what, it says it can't 
find a valid chip.

Hrmph.

Anyone ever deal with AVR programming and/or the SP12 software? (SP12 is 
easiest found if you search google for "Programming a Spider's Brain".) I'm 
wondering if it's due to my dual-processors...

Please keep replies off-list, as this is offtopic.

Thanks all!
