ByteblasterMV to Byteblaster II conversion

Hi. Does anyone know how I can convert a ByteblasterMV schematic (provided by Altera) to a Byteblaster II schematic (not provided by Altera) in order to configure my Cyclone III device using AS configuration? Of course any Byteblaster II schematics (either related to ByteblasterMV or not) are welcome :).

Thank you

    Here is a schematic of a simple Byteblaster II compatible adapter I've been using for several years.

    P.S.: I you have a JTAG interface at the FPGA, you also program the AS memory through JTAG indirectly, using the factory default SFL.

    I intended to use SFL along with ByteblasterMV/JTAG but I guess I will now try the Byteblaster II as well. Thanks for your reply FvM :) .
