Here’s the free circuit which can program 89S series microcontroller through USB. It just needs an programmed AVR Atmeg8 microcontroller.
Even though the Atmega8 does not have an USB interface an software USB is created.
The software is created by Fischl, its available at :http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/
But this programmer supports only AVR chips and now the Atmega8 microcontroller program is changed to support the AT89S series micros.
You can program the following 89 series chips by using this programmer
AT89S51, AT89S52, AT89S53, AT89S8252, AT89S8253, AT89S2051, AT89S4051 and AVR chips
