This will definitely work, a couple of years ago, we researched this exact setup. Our plan was to put headers on the motherboards were we deisnging, to have an easy de-bricking mechanism. A co-worker wrote a windows SPI flasher in a day or so. I have seen that exact device used to program SPI ROMs, as well as master JTAG, and program Altera FPGAs (they have a generic bit-bang mode too). It works quite well.
Thanks for confirming.
I think I have sent these to the list before, but DLP Design makes pretty cheap little adapter boards ($20-40), including one for the 2232 series:
I must have over looked it. After reading your mail, I browsed ftdi's site again and found it there too. The module seems convenient to use. I am contacting a local ftdi distributor at the moment.
That with a protoboard and an appropriate socket is all you need for a SPI programmer. If you have a SPI programming socket on your motherboard, it is even easier. It should be pretty fast too.
Any one know about this?

I think it is very useful for soldered SPI flashes.
