Low Voltage Cyclone III Configuration

I'm doing a low voltage (1.8V) design and would like to find a configuration EEPROM to interface to my Cyclone III. Is such a part available?

The only real problem is the VIH parameter on the flash part. For example, the EPCS64 datasheet claims a VIHmin of 0.6 * VCC. So if VCC for the flash is 3.3V, I should provide at least 1.98V on ASDO (which I obviously don't). You could power the flash down to 2.7V or 3.0V in which case VIHmin would be 1.62V and 1.8V respectively.
