To everybody who uses the AVR-Doper firmware: There's a serious bug in the ISP MULTI command which is used (e.g.) by avrdude to read fuse values.
The effect of the bug is to send uninitialized data to the device on the ISP interface. The commands may have undesired effects such as changing fuse values, chip erase or similar.
Please upgrade to version 2007-12-01.
This version also contains a change (bug fix) in the board: Pins 11, 12, and 14 of the 14 pin HVSP socket should be connected to GND.
