I'm running AS6.2 and Atnel-ICE on Win7 Pro x64, targeting an ATTiny841 via debugWire.  Everything was working fine yesterday (I could program and emulate), and I was careful to let AS6.2 terminate the session, but today when I try to connect to the target for programming or emulation I get the above error.  The whole dialog is below.  I get the same error if I swap an AVR-One or AVRISP MkII for the Atmel-ICE.  I haven't tried connecting to another target yet.  I've tried slowing the ISP clock down to 8 kHz, closing AS6.2, rebooting, but no dice.  The Device Programming dialog can read the Target Voltage but nothing from the device proper like signature or fuses.  Any suggestions?

Can you start a debug session?  If yes, then go into the debugging menu and try disabling debugwire there and see what happens

Also, by chance the debug connector is on backwards, or the little connector at the ends of the cable are not seated properly(bit me in the bumm a few times)
