Reporting back: I checked the dataman web site, and even
sent an email to their technical support.  Unfortunately,
the S4 model does not support the 74S288 32x8-bit PROM.
I was a bit disappointed at the news.  The next model
program up from the S4 does support that part, but that
is not the model to which I have access. 

Even worse, I have not been able to locate any datasheets
for the part.   I am not beyond building a programmer for
the part, but the datasheet would be required.
