PBP3 does not recognise the EasyPIC board
Of course it does not, PBP is a compiler.
PBP takes text written in BASIC syntax and turns that text into text written in ASM syntax. Then MPASM is used to make a HEX file from the ASM text. It is up to YOU to pick the programmer (device) to transfer the HEX file to the chip.
