Device signature = 0xffffff; arduino nano clone

[sdsuee]

checked and rechecked connection and pinout multiple times, have continuity from pins on 9x atmel to arduino,

any advice ?

Looks like a wrong connetion to me. Are you sure you didn't swap 2 wires or something? Can you post pics of your setup?

[sdsuee]

Success, and the issue was something in this combination doesn't like my new mackbook retina possibly due to USB3.0 ports, switched to an old windows netbook and worked first time.

Just in case you hadn't seen it.....

Using the ArduinoISP that came with IDE versions 0.22, 0.23 and 1.01, I would always get EEPROM read/write errors (The ROM flashed fine though) - see my previous post for a fix required in the sketch specific to the m64 in the 9x.
