Quartus II: Newbie help needed

Hi there

I'm a complete newbie; and don't really know what I doing yet :(

I downloaded Quartus II 13.0 (32 bit) awhile back and after experiencing problems with (Programmer) reading Jtag! I decided to try and workout where I was going wrong through watching related videos on Youtube.

After watching a few videos on the 'wizard' topic? I noticed at the 'family & device' section? I was having a problem with the set-up wizard. I can only seem to select "arria ii gx" whereas the videos I watched had the more devices available.

I have board here fitted with an MAX7000. I was hoping to tinker with it; and possible learn the basics.

Is there a limitation on the free software I am using? As I've followed the YT video instructions.

Thanks

ps Quartus detects my USB Blaster/driver installed.

    Hi,

    Yes there is difference check the link.

    https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/po/ss_quartussevswe.pdf

    But quartus 13.0 web edition supports MAX700.

    1.While downloading the quartus have you selected all devices?

    2.Or download the devices library (.qdz) and using quartus->tools->install device (select the directory where .qdz files are there).

    Best Regards,

    Hi

    Thank you for the quick reply :D

    Yes I am using the web version. I think: I previously didn't down load the devices (due to additional file size/loader access). I am downloading everything again (fresh set-up).

    Thank you for your time and help.
