That's an ex-circuit programmer. Unless you want to do production work
(program 100's of chips) you will be betterf of with an in-circuit
programmer.

If you can get a PS+ for cheap check whether it has been upgraded.
Without the flash upgrade it is limited to older chips, and the upgrade
is not cheap.
