I am a beginner in micro-controller programming.
I built a programmer that uses parallel port to program atmega16 micro controller and is working perfectly but I have a laptop and it doesn't have any parallel ports. I want to use USB to program my micro-controller. HOw can it be implemented.

There's a list of compatible chips there for the Dragon. It doesn't work on many of their older chips, which was a bit of an annoyance for me. But I have my old STK-500 for those...
