If I remember, the MAX II dev kit has a USB type 2 connector on it. I could be wrong but I think it has the schematics and the FTDI chip on there as well. The board can be powered via the USB interface.

I just grabbed this text from the start guide for the kit:

The USB Reference Design provides an example of how to connect a PC

to the MAX II development board using the on-board USB MAC from

Future Technology Devices International (FTDI). The design consists of a

Visual Basic Application and a Quartus II project. Source code for both

projects is included on the MAX II Development Kit CD-ROM.

I'm not sure if this helps you.
