What I have run into before is that what they are calling a
programmer is actually a communication cable that talks to a serial
port on the development board that is a ttl (0 to 5V - with 5V as
logic 1) instead of RS-232 (+/- 3 to 35 volts - polarity indicates
logic level.) The actual programming is done by the development
board by firmware on the board. You are usually talking to a monitor
program of some sort on the board or chip.

In this case, it looks like the programmer is a bit more complicated
then that. I did not find the pinouts for the ISP Programming
Interface, so I am not sure how much the programmer really does...
