I doubt that your programmer will correctly deal with 16c5x
parts.  The 16c7x, 8x parts are programmed serially.  That is one line is
a serial data line, another is a serial clock line, and a third is just
raised high to indicate programming mode.  The pic 16c5x parts are
parallel programmed.  That is the data word is put on some 12 lines and
another line gates the word into be programmed.  Fred Eady sells (or at
least did sell) a kit to program these parts some years ago.  Or you
could program a pic16c7x to receive serial data and generate the
programming and data signals to make your own programmer.
