Not sure why that would happen. The old programmer is essentially the same circuit as the later ones I did.
Try adding a capacitor between the output of the the touch pad and the input of the programmer, along with a pull down resistor at the programmer side.

Any idea why ? Am connecting the gate outputs of the pads to the PB connection on programmer.
