I concur. I bought one of these dirt cheap ones from China too. Forget
the documentation and go for what's written on the circuit board.
It worked for almost everything I wanted to do (Mostly 27xx work). I say
almost everything because for some reason it couldn't cope with 2716 CMOS
EPROMS? (standard 2716 was fine).
Point is, I need to burn EPROMS only once it a blue moon and it WAS dirt
cheap. If burning EPROMs was a major activity, I would have gone for more
expensive and better support. It has its faults but hey, it cost next to
nothing.
Horses for courses.....

Me too. And I loved it. The software was strange, scattered
documentation, zero support, but I never need it either. I know how to
program an EPROM and it just worked for that (and PLDs and microcontrollers
too).
Cheap tool, cheap service. But in my case it worked.
