Sparkfun also sells a bunch of non-Atmel endorsed AVR ISP programmers, just look in the Programmers>AVR category. I have both the Dragon and the STK500 and I am happy with both.</p>

when I download the firmware it gives me a file corrupt or invalid error. Anyone else having the same problem ?</p>

I'm guessing that the USB mini-B header is an alternate way to power the board. The silkscreen for C1 has a white '-' looking mark on the lead that ties into the positive line, and I'm a little concerned that R2 will interfere with the 6 pin ICSP port (yeah, I plan to use it!)<br>
Other than that it looks like a good, clean board. I'll have to post some photos after I melt some solder.</p>
