Max II evalutation board - USB port

Thanks, I was worried about that. This is a little more detail of what I am trying to do. I have a small pool of resources but am straped at the moment so am looking to turn the evaluation kit into a small data acquisition unit until I can turn loose the appropriate resources to do a group up development. I would like to buy 10 or so of these kits and pull in some sensor data and maybe CAN bus data, log and store the data for retrieval.

Any thoughts? Or is this just the wrong way of going about it? I was a engineering manager at another company and the hardware guys loved using Altera PLD's for everything and I want to expose my employees to this instead of just off the selfing expensive inflexible systems.

thanks
