I get the same error..  Including on COM1 or 2..  

It seems to have originated in an update to AVR studio..  (Maybe 
4.09?)  I find myself using Avr Studio's built-in programmer to burn 
my chips, or giving the project a fake eeprom file.. (Once it fails 
to communicate the EEPROM, if successfull will program the Flash)

I've attached an example..  Here I've added a fake eeprom file so the 
flash will burn.. Without the eep, it fails on burning the flash.
