I only have the one AVRISP that hasn't been upgraded, because it won't.
It still works as well as any of them, but it always fails the upgrade.

Oh, Ok I didn't realise you were THAT brian! :)
I feel better now, my Mavric works just fine.

Cross-thought.. Ever considered laying the Jtag ice option right into the 
mavric?
