It's inconsistent.... but it appears that since I ran AVRdude last time
 yesterday, it left all signals low, including RESET. Which prevented 
the 8535 from running as long as the cable was connected.
However, as I just ran AVRdude with -E noreset, it put it back into (inactive) 
high, and it continues to do so subsequently without having to supply the 
-E noreset again. Weird, unless it has something to do with the giveio, which I 
had some trouble starting up (but now I managed to stop and restart it). 
I am running Windows2k, so I have now installed Slackware on one of my
compuers, in order to test the Linux version of AVRdude. But it's rather late 
and
I'll hit the bed before I can report back.

Hey, just one question: is it possible to set or reset the pins of the LPT
with AVRdude, without actually reading or writing?


goodnight
