I have a generic programmer that is supposedly similar to the JDM 
programmer and also uses IC-Prog, which DOES support the '628 nicely. 
One point you need to be aware of (and I don't know if the real JDM 
programmer handles this - mine didn't) is that, unlike the 'F84, the 
'F628 has a PGM pin (pin 10) which must be tied LOW for programming a 
'628. If this is NOT done, your programming of the chip may be erratic 
at best! The schematic should tell you if there is a pull-down or not.

Been there, done that - easily remedied when you know what to look for! 
I just added a switch to flip which inserts a pull-down resistor when I 
need to program a chip needing PGM LOW. My programmer programs a LOT of 
the PIC line and uses a 40-pin ZIF for the programming socket. I didn't 
feel comfortable that I could guarantee every chip programmed would be 
happy with that pin pulled low, thus the switch.

Good luck!
