I was refering to Atmels starter kit, sorry, Iwas a bit vague.

I see, does that mean that older ports will source more current than
newer ports?
Would a handful of transistors and an external power supply fix this
problem? And is it worth fixing, considering that the start kit comes
with a serial cable for programming (so says the AVR page).

Hmm, the onboard osc sounds like it would be nice, are there
disadvantages to using it? (assume so, or it would probably be enable by
default).
