I do not understand whether programmer given in link supports the AT89C51 device or not

It clearly says it's an Atmel AVR programmer - why would you imagine it supports anything else?.

But this datasheet for the AT89C51 from Atmel doesn't say anything about it being part of the AVR family.

A text search for the other series names listed by the programmer also bring up no matches in the datasheet.

That was my point - it's an AVR programmer, not an 89C51 programmer.

Atmel was mentioned there so i thought it should also program the atmel microcontroller.

Just from a quick look at that MCU data sheet, it appears to need a parallel programmer - it uses 12 address lines, 8 data an a few control signals. No serial programming that I can see.

A TL866 series programmer should be suitable - my TL866 II has the 89C51 listed.

AND what is weird.... The TL866 II also does AVR.... So far I haven't found an 8 bit chip it doesn't program..

A word of caution with those programmers in general, if you ever get involved with older ICs / MCUs:

I don't know about MCUs, as I've never used it for that - but as a fact the hardware does not work with all devices listed and selectable in the software.

The internal VPP generator only goes up to somewhere around 15 - 18V so any devices needing higher voltage do not program properly, or at all - but they are still selectable for programming.

eg. The ones I had a problem with were old EPROMs for a vintage board that need 21V and 25V VPP, but I believe some MCUs from the same era likely needed the same higher voltages.

I had to dig out my old ALL-11 and set up Win XP on a VM to run it, to program those ICs.

I would use somink like this..

I had one of those back in the 90s and a UV eraser - used it mainly for UVEPROMS (UVPROMS?) and GALs. No idea where it went.

Your wife probably moved it!

Mine drives me mad - you ask "where have you put the ???? I left on the corner of the kitchen shelf?", she always replies "I haven't seen it or moved it". There's only two of us in the house, so I know damn well she's moved it - when (if?) it's eventually found she'll say "oh, that - I tidied it"

As far as I know, some AVR programmers support AT89S series. But not the AT89C series. For AT89C, you gotta choose an 8051 programmer.

One of my favorite little programmers.
