Ok, here's the problem: the kit's Quartus II v2.2 reference design project file uses an old format,
.quartus (rather than
.qpf). When I try to open the project in my Quartus II v10.0 it doesn't recognize the format and takes me to the New Project Wizard. Does anyone know how to convert a
.quartus project (Quartus II v3.0 and earlier) to a
.qpf project (Quartus II v4.0 and beyond)?
My ultimate goal is to generate an
.sopcinfo file (SOPC Builder) from this old reference design and I'm stuck. Any ideas?

Hmm, two ideas come to mind:
1) Install Quartus II v2.2 so you can look at how the design was created, and write down the appropriate parameters.
Open Quartus II v10.0 and insert those parameters into the latest version of the PCI IP core that you plan on using.
2) Just start from scratch, and ignore the reference design completely.
I'd start with (2) and if you get stuck, go back to (1) to see if it has the information you are missing.
Cheers,
Dave
PS: Another option:
(3) Install a slightly newer version of Quartus than v2.2 and see if it will read the .quartus file. This FTP site has some of the older Web Edition releases:
