RE: FPGA/CPLD different approach

I like Terasic in general, good quality stuff (They have a testimonial
from me on their website) and they are licensed as an Altera partner to
sell the USB Blaster. Also  I got the impression that registering as a
discovered "USB Blaster" in Quartus may have copyright issues, but that’s
just an impression I got.

There are alternatives to the official altera programmer tools:

yN
o=74   for $50

this board if you have one, can also be used as usb blaster (it's the one
I'm using)
http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&Categor
yN
o=183&No=215

this programmer also works but impossible to install if one of the above
or an official programmer from altera was not already installed

I believe that would be appreciated by many people!
