What does OK mean.  I have used ssDNA isolation kits from Qiagen for preps
of phagemid ssDNA.  I got ssDNA, but it was not useful for sequencing.  I
finally went back to PEG/salt ppt followed by extensive organic
extractions.  If Promega's kit yields sequencing grade ssDNA I would be
very interested in trying this out.
