Without paying for a subscription, those links are pretty much content-free.
But looking at the pictures, it does appear to be a simple programmer with a
charge pump to generate Vpp.  Based on that assumption, it is very unlikely
that the software that worked under Win98 would still work on NT/XP.  I
think there's good odds that trying it on a Win98 machine will work.

The USB programmer thing does get around that, although it's not the USB
that really does it.  Probably not such a bad plan given the price of things
like the Wisp628 or EasyProg.

Assuming you have a schematic, you might try your programmer with WinPic or
FPP.  These are pretty configurable bits of software that can drive a simple
programmer under XP (although not without some setup grief).
