Fusebits seems like yours (except bootvector off)

I checked it with an old Ethernut1 and works fine.

I use a jtagice compatible jtag adapter using jtagice.exe. I can read/write
lockbits and flash content without problems, including verify.

I use a little switching supply which gives 7V. Works until now, but because
it's a bit hard I now checked a 9V/1,5A supply, I measured 11,5V at the
barrel connector and 5.5V at the output pin of the voltage regulator chip.

Exactly, I burned it a long time ago and soldered a thin wire across it,
shame on me.

So this seems to be the only way. Maybe I can flash a small
blink-LED-Programm without using NutOS to the device. But if it works it
doesn't help. Then I know the AVR is alife, but all other...

Thank you for your hints.
