The Willem is a good programmer, I etched and built both the Ath 3.1s Single sided Version and the 4.1 version myself.

Yes to program the CAT28F010 select the 28F010 then click the ? for device ID
It must return
Manufacture Code 0x31 CATALYST
Device Code 0xB4 CAT28F010
I it does not then you may the have switch setting jumpers wrong, recheck and try again.
To program 28F001BX-T select from the menu Flash 28Fxxx > 28F00x 8Bit and the top one on the list if you are using software 0.97G or 0.97JA.
You will also need to set the jumper that shorts pin 1 to pin30 on the programmer.

Where did you get a Ver 5.0 programmer, It must not be a true Willem, the last time I check the latest version was 4.5 with TSOP ZIF Socket.
I did not see a 5.0 Version in the programmer shop on the site.

You will not have much luck programming the cat28F010 with out an external power supply with that programmer.
You can program the Intel N82802AB8 with it. it is a firmware hub and it is in the menu you just put it in the firmware hub LPC socket and set up the programmer accordingly.
you should always use an external power pack with that programmer
