#111257 - Careful, now ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The EP9xx is part of the old "classic" CPLD series that Altera made back in the '80's. They're still supported by the free MaxPlus+2 software, though, and IF THE DEVICES YOU HAVE ARE WINDOWED CERAMIC PARTS, you can reuse them. If not, you're out of luck.

These devoces are NOT JTAG-programmable, but require a dedicated programmer, as what Altera once sold, or a multipurpose device such as the Data I/O Unisite or others in their product line.

MaxPlus+ has a built-in simulator. It also supports JTAG programming of devices that include that feature. Note that it is possible to program ALTERA's 7000-series JTAG programmable devices into a state in which the JTAG pins no longer work as JTAG pins. Those devices can be reused, but have to be erased in a programmer that knows how to reprogram them.

Good Luck!

         modelsim is fine for altera fpgas            01/01/70 00:00      
            Maybe, but probably not for these parts            01/01/70 00:00      
               you use it seperatly            01/01/70 00:00      
                  aye, there's the rub ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     However with altera tools            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Have you tried that?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           yep just done it now with baseline            01/01/70 00:00

                     We all have thoughts...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Maxplus or Quartus            01/01/70 00:00      
      Do they have free simulation?            01/01/70 00:00
