Ok then. I'll order a new arduino soon enough. It may take a while though until the board arrives.
In the meantime, i could try to get a boarduino up and running using my now war veteran 382p chip.
I'd rather not reflashing the arduino bootloader if it's not necessary.. should i still follow the Ducimilanove boarduino instructions or are there some uno board instructions around? does it make a difference for the bootloader?
