Yes, it is listed as supported, however there are only 6 or 8 chips listed
as "tested".

Is there a "programmer test" function? Some of the programs I have used
can test the loopback of data, and allow you to turn Vpp and Vcc on and
off so you can check voltage levels.

Alternatively, but much harder, you can operate your programmer manually,
not attached to the computer, and check each input and output if they
respond to your stimulus.

Cheerful regards,
