That's what I thought too. And it SEEMS that I can do that successfully. But then nothing changes. I still get no 'ding' acknowledgement from windows on the Mega, and still have a sync error from the Uno. I am very happy that I can at least program the Uno with the USBasp. Although right now I am having problems with the IDE refusing to use the programmer and instead it insists on using COM no matter what, but I'mma whoop that here shortly.....
