Thanks to both of you for your help. I am having trouble determining if the USB Blaster will work with the version of Quartus that supports this older device. From what I can tell, this is first generation Cyclone, and 11.1 is the latest version that can be used. The USB Blaster II requires version 14. The USB Blaster does not specify the version, so perhaps it would work with 6, or 11.1?
