LumiNet (based on attiny84)

S.C. Thanks again for a greatly needed attiny core. Not quite working for me yet though.

I did a fresh arduino-018 install and downloaded the attiny84-03 core. did not make any other changes - correct?

when I try to do a sketch download (or burn the "bootloader") I get a message saying the device signature is incorrect(shows as 0's).

Binary sketch size: 818 bytes (of a 8192 byte maximum)

avrdude: please define PAGEL and BS2 signals in the configuration file for part ATtiny84
avrdude: Yikes!  Invalid device signature.
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.

Looking at the verbose output below it seems to me that the arduinoisp code is responding but the attiny84 is not. I've double checked all the connections and they look right. disconnecting sck, miso, or mosi all give the same error. disconnecting reset gives a different error. Any thoughts?
