With the stk525 don't you need an stk500 to insert it into ?

If your considering one of these, why not
try a at90usbkey ?

AT90USBKEY ,were about US$30 from digikey when I got my couple.

Same chip as on the stk525- at90usb1287

Then if you are happy with it get a stk525 and a stk500 to plug it into.

Hi,

Already have a STK500. I'm not really doing any USB work now, but
perhaps later this year. Mostly I responding to a marketing email
Digikey sent me. Basically fill out a 5 line survey and when you order
a STK525 (which is on sale till end of January) you can buy the USB key
for $1 more.

Thanks
Chris
