If I recall correctly, "ND" is a digikey moniker and originally
stood for "No Discount". These days it just means it is a Digikey
part number. The "20PU" stands for 20Mhz in a "28P3" or 28-pin
plastic .30" skinny DIP. A good choice of part. Before you know
it, you and your friends will be buying them in tubes of 25 to
get them at the $1.69 price point.

No doubt. :)

Not got give you buyers remorse, but I am about to add AVR's
to my bag of tools and have been hunting around for AVR programmers.
The AVRDEVKIT1-ND is a combination of the ATSTK500 and the
ATAVRDragon from Digikey at $49.00. It is supposed to be a
combined programmer and debugger.

That's OK. I knew this wasn't a debugger when I bought it, and I'm
assuming that if I stick with AVR development, it won't be the last
programmer I buy. But I think it's a good starter unit -- it saves me
from the temptation to try and figure out debugging while also figuring
out the rest of it!

Best,
