TSOP56 to DIL48 adapter question

Hi from Italy,

i'm in need to program a JS28F640J3D75 flash memory with this programmer
http://www.geeetech.com/smartpro-x5-universal-programmer-usb20-p-297.html

Thinking too easily that adapters were all the same i made bought this one
http://uk.farnell.com/batronix/tsop56-dip48/adapter-tsop56-to-dip48-bx48-448/dp/2422224?Ntt=2422224

No way to read data and Flash ID neither.This adapter uses a 74HC164 to 
convert signals from serial to parallel

Despite in many site the above programmer is sold as lifetime software 
supported, the brand no longer exists,so i can't have info on how the 
adapter should be.In the programmer software i didn't foud any option 
ineherent to the adapter.

A compatible adapter can be ordered from China,but is very likely that 
it would lay in italian custom for a couple of weeks, or more.

I don't think that the programmer needs a sophisticated circuit in the 
adapter,but i'm not able to founda single diagram about this stuff on 
the web.

Any hint ?

Many thanks
Diego
