Q:

ATMEGA32 Jtag flash

Can you recommend an inexpensive product for flashing an in circuit (read: powered) ATMEGA32 via JTAG.  
I have a parallel port available on my laptop dock/port replicator, which I am guessing may be the cheapest form of these.  I intend to use PonyProg to flash the ATMEGA32.  I do not need the capability to debug in line, but simply to load someone else's off the shelf program (monome firmware) to the ATMEGA32. 

A:

I use Lady Ada's USBtinyISP with avrdude.   The kit cost $22 and supports both the 6-pin and 10-pin interfaces.   You can learn a lot more about making AVR target boards courtesy of the Evil Mad Scientist(s).   I also found an Instructable for a truly bare-bones parallel port programmer.
