WARNING: Your mainboard is ASUS A8N, but the mainboard-specific
code has not been tested, and thus will not not be executed by default.
Depending on your hardware environment, erasing, writing or even probing
can fail without running the board specific code.

Please see the man page (section PROGRAMMER SPECIFIC INFO, subsection
"internal programmer") for details.
