14 years ago --- Quote Start --- which portion of the doc are you referring to? note that Table 9-10 applies to AP not AS configuration the mention device should support AS --- Quote End --- this is what I found confusing, from chapter 9: Smaller Cyclone III devices or package options (E144, M164, Q240, F256, and U256 packages) do not have the MSEL[3] pin. The AS Fast POR configuration scheme at 3.0- or 2.5-V configuration voltage standard and the AP configuration scheme are not supported in Cyclone III devices without the MSEL[3] pin. To configure these devices with other supported configuration schemes, select the MSEL[2..0] pins according to the MSEL settings in Table 9–7. Perhaps this means that the AS fast POR at 3-2.5V is not supported but it is at 3.3V??? So there is no MSEL[3] pin but all the configurations show it used.... Thanks Rich
