Using the 8Pin ATTINY programming shield with an external clock

Instructables author extraordinaire Randofo created a great programming shield to use your Arduino to program 8 pin ATTINY processors. He was even generous enough to give 50 copies of it out to people who authored instructables using AVR processors. It works great on brand new ATTINYs and any chip that is programmed to use it’s Internal clock.
