Atmega is completely locked, I can't even read the ID of the chip.
Is it with the adapter qfp64 to dip40 that you are here to read and program the atmega in the ZIF socket on the beeprog?
The zif socket should work with ports for parallel programming.
It may make sense to try resetting the lock bits with an AVR doctor!
described everything here
1) Buy a new ATmega2561 "buy a new one"
