Does it work works with ATmega8 ? I don't see support on main page.. I think it 
needed to be compatible with it because MCU is same with 168 and 328 except RAM 
and Flash sizes... Thanks

No, Optiboot is not currently compatible with the ATmega8. Despite initial 
appearances, there are a lot of internal differences between the ATmega8 and 
the ATmega168/328. Most of those are accounted for by changes to the Arduino 
bootloader and core code.

The vast majority of Arduino boards use ATmega168 or ATmega328P, so that is the 
focus of support, with ATmega1280 a close third (used on the Arduino Mega).

I recommend Mega8 owners pop out the Mega8 and plug in an ATmega328P. The 
upgrade costs about $3, and gives 32K of flash + 2K of RAM with Arduino code 
compatibility.
