In fact I started with ATMEL At89S52 which has ISP via parallel port.
For that I got USB to Parallel port cable and it didnt worked. The chip inside the cable was from Prolific and as your are saying these Prolific chips generally doewnot support or emulate Parallel or Serial port as it is.
So I turned to Flashmagic which has serial interface and thought that atleast USB to Serial shud do.
Before purchasing any new stuff I want to be sure that it will work. Or if anybody can suggest me AT89S52 USB based programmer(DIY kit)
