Frequent ContributorYikes EP910 is 1990s technology, like 30 years old. No version of Quartus ever supported it, only MaxPlusII which predated Quartus.
MaxPlusII is no longer available for download, but internet archive search hits on some old versions that are still online:

Some of these may support EP910, you will have to download and see.
However, most likely you will need a WinXP (or maybe Win7K 32b if you are lucky) to run the software.
In reality you will be better off designing new hardware and replacing the EP910 with some current technology.
Just my 2c.
New ContributorThanks for your reply!
I probably should have mentioned that the application for this PLD is for an aerospace system which is critical to the aircrafts operation in certain flight conditions. While a redesign would certainly be possible, the cost of requalification would be prohibitive, and the customer would unlikely be willing to pay for the effort. We have the EP910 on several similar products, and while Altera stopped making them many years ago, the parts are still manufactured by Rochester Electronics.
Intel's Software Licensing Page indicates: "You need a valid license to run the MAX+PLUS II software. MAX+PLUS II license is no longer available for purchase. You can either purchase the Intel Quartus Prime license that includes a full feature of MAX+PLUS II software or request a free license for MAX+PLUS II BASELINE software with limited feature. You can download the MAX+PLUS II Advanced Synthesis software from the Intel website."
So I guess I was just looking for confirmation before purchasingthe Quarus Prime License, that this is indeed software which will suit my needs.
