> PEN stand for Parallel Programming Enable if you're not going to 

Well, Atmel doc2467.pdf, Page 7, says the following:
--(citation)
PEN is a programming enable pin for the SPI Serial Programming
mode. By holding this pin low during a Power-on Reset, the device 
will enter the SPI Serial Programming mode. PEN has no function 
during normal operation.
--(end of citation)

Now, to whom we are suppose to believe? Personally, I prefer Atmel. 
Therefore, PEN does not stand for Parallel Programming Enable.

That assumes that you, too, belong to "others". Right? 
I'm reacting to this childish thing, because to all my attempts to 
help other people, there is always someone who is trying to 
oversmart others not by facts, numbers or engineering knowledge, but 
rather by plain-vanilla insulting, which generally pisses me off!
I'm sure you'll be offended by my reaction, so, while you are 
preparing poisonus answer, think and let me know what are you 
actually trying to accomplish? Are you trying to help the originator 
of this thread? I'm sure it is not your attempt to promote 
your "150.000 pieces of product running all around the globe"!? Or 
it is? What we are suppose to do: perhaps, to spread away deadly 
scared, because you, the behemot of Atmel-based product, are walking 
thru this usergroup?

> I know for a fact that it works when its high. our production 
numbers speaks its own language.
Nice. What language is that? Even if it's true, who cares (except 
you)? I might care if you offer me pre-IPO shares!!!
Sounds like, 'cause your production numbers speaks its own language, 
only you are right while everybody else are wrong, without any other 
proofs, only by power of your own words (?).
