Yes, the error message is in my initial post, but I'll repeat it below.

The files from Intel only work with the old design, as it has a different flash device and as it turns out, different firmware for the Max V CPLD used as the flash controller. If I try to use those old files, it stops the on board flash completely and almost bricks the board.

I was able to read out the new Max V binary from a different new board and use that to restore the Max V on the board I'm testing.

Quartus programmer reports this error:

Error (18591): Can't recognize the Flash device that attached to device 2. The Flash device is not supported by Quartus Prime software.

I also get the same error from our programming script that has been working for a few years.

I have tried my older installed Quartus, and today just installed the latest 23.1 std edition. All report the same error.

    Differences between both 1G CFI flash are small, but adaptions are probably necessary, e.g. for sector organization, if not already implemented in the original design.
