If you're using the ATmega32, which is supported by the original JTAG ICE 
(Mk I), you should consider the AVR ICE-Cube.  It has no ribbon cable at all 
and so doesn't suffer from any of the problems that have been recently 
discussed.  It comes with a six foot serial cable and there is no box of any 
kind to find a place for on the bench, just the business end of the 
ICE-Cube, which is the size of, well, an ice cube, and sits above the target 
JTAG connector.  You do, of course, need a serial port on your computer or a 
USB-to-serial adapter.  Now, if you had a Dragon *and* an ICE-Cube, well 
then you'd be able to ...

Disclosure - for those that don't know, I make and sell the AVR ICE-Cube, so 
I'm tooting my own horn here, but you've seen others speak well of the 
ICE-Cube here too.
