Honored ContributorI hope this question is for support of an old design and not for a new design. I used the EP1800 in the late 1980s using A+PLUS before I upgraded to the MAX5000 family using MAX+PLUS (non-Windows software) and later MAX+PLUS II. As I recall, Cypress was the company that took over the "Classic" family after that. You might find information searching for "EP1810", a later variant than the EP1800.
From the Classic EPLD Family section in the Altera 1999 Device Data Book: --- Quote Start --- supply voltage --- Quote End --- 5.0V. --- Quote Start --- macrocell count --- Quote End --- 48 macrocells divided into 4 quadrants, 16 dedicated input pins (including 1 per quadrant available as a clock), and 48 I/O pins. --- Quote Start --- programming file type --- Quote End --- I don't see it in the data book and don't remember. --- Quote Start --- required programming hardware --- Quote End --- Altera Logic Programmer card (goes in the PC) with a Master Programming Unit and an EP1800 device adapter that plugs into the MPU. Also programmers from third parties like Data I/O. It was supported by MAX+PLUS II. You might need a very old version though. ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/release goes back to maxplus2_60.zip.
