A book called rapid prototyping of Digital system references a Altera UP 1 CPLD Board for project development. The book is over 11 years old and I am finding it hard to located this board for sale. Does any one know if I can order the UP 1 CPLD board so that I can develop some of the digital projects in the book? I checked Altera's University Program website and did not see the part, I also checked digikey, ebay and google in general. Am I SOL?

Do not bother getting this board, it is ancient, the tools no longer support it, and the devices are missing many useful features.
Buy a Terasic DE0-nano

Buy the board, try some of the example designs, and then come back to this forum and ask questions. You'll get plenty of help here.
