Hello,

I understand your motivation. But besides modifying the MAX II PFL design, you'll most likely need to write your own virtual JTAG programming tool, because the Quartus programmer only supports parallel flash devices for "attachment". The interface between programmer and PFL is rather low level, directly performing flash programming commands that are different from serial flash commands.
