12 years ago --- Quote Start --- Buy the Terasic USB-Blaster, its significantly cheaper than Altera's version. --- Quote End --- Thanks for the advice! --- Quote Start --- If you must have an Altera version, then buy a development kit that includes the programmer. [...] The kit is ~$160 and includes an Altera USB-Blaster. --- Quote End --- I think that this had been my boss' original thought (in fact, I need it at work)...but probably he did not check if that particular starter kit (DK-START-3C25N) had a separate usb blaster..... Now I've to decide which one to buy...but I think that if the Terasic blaster is ok for Cyclone III FPGAs, I will buy that one :) Thanks a lot, Davide
