Have you read the manual that they have on the web site? It looks like
it could be used for any of the chips in the family, though you might
have to make an adapter or adapter cable.

One nice thing is that the USB protocol is actually documented
(according to the manual) and they include the source code for the
programmer app. This could be used to support (say) Linux.
