128 Atmel to 256 Atmel chip

[jmf38]

On an Atmega 128 card with the DB25 plug on programmer.Can a Atmel 256 chip be installed as a direct replacement on the old 128 card without modifying traces.
in other words will it work if soldered in correctly.
etc.?-thanks-jmf

yes. But it is still a legacy Atmega, which unfortunately is suffering from less than spectacular support, currently it is not up. But it is fun to play with, I have converted several 128's to 256. You need to be careful desoldering the 128 because you can easily damage the board if you don't know what you are doing.
