Hi, Just got MAX II DEVELOPMENT Kit. What version of Quartus should I use. The kit contains 6.01 (and requires licence etc) I have download ver 9.0. The doc's in the kit are inconsistant as one letter says get the latest version, while another say use 6.01. ( when building examples with 9.0 I get lots of warnings) Thanks

The design examples for this development kits is developed in Quartus II v6.0 and v6.1. Thus, it is recommended customer to use Quartus II v6.0 or v6.1 to avoid unwanted error.
