fried arduino

DavidFoe:
Located in New England (RI) and it is a Uno (not the latest one, it runs ver 022 but less than a year old and not surface mount).

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but v. 022 is referring to the software. (Not sure exactly if that encompasses IDE + libraries + bootloader, or how that's arranged.) There is an R2 and and R3 Uno board. But I think you can use v. 022 or v.1 with any of those, or the original Uno. For that matter, you can put a custom bootloader in, and still use either IDE.
