What I am suggesting is:

1) Plug you USB-Blaster into your laptop.

2) Connect the 10-pin header on your USB-Blaster to the appropriate JTAG pins on the ByteBlaster DB25 connector. The signals you need to connect are TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, GND, and VCC to power the buffer in the JTAG cable.

Then you can use the USB-Blaster to control the board.

Cheers,

Dave
