    As a replacement for the EPM7032S/7096S/7128S there is the current series ATF15xx from Atmel/Microchip.

    They are drop in functionally compatible, and can use the same .POF file you generate for the Altera part via a translator program (POF2JED).

    You need a new USB JTAG programmer from Atmel to program the parts with their JEDEC (text based) files.

    But other than that overhead, I have successfully converted an number of legacy EPM7032S/7064S parts in PLCC44 from the existing Altera .POF files. YMMV of course.

    So if you really need something like the EPM7nnnS series parts with 5.0V/3.3V compatibility I find the ATF15xx series very useful.

    Mouser, DigiKey, etc stock these parts off the shelf.
