Hi Kevin,

I know there are 3rd party 8Mb devices, but never tried one.

I never did, because Altera checks device ID before programming and I supposed that the 8 Mb ID (0x13) wouldn't be supported.

But it is, if I read your post. Could you confirm this? Or did you use a different way to program your device?

Thanks, Ton
