I'm not familiar with that particular board, but from inspection of the
picture I can't see the usual components that would be associated with a
Tait style programmer, e.g. 78LS05 and the switching transistors.
Unless these are surface mounted on the other side of the PCB, I suspect
this might be a very basic programmer design that may not work with
standard Tait software.

It may be worthwhile emailing Magenta to see if they have bespoke
software for the kit which Jinx linked to in his post.

Mike
