Honored ContributorHow about this:

The original designer here might also have some useful input on your project needs (since he already built something like what you need). BTW, I don't understand why you could not just update the Software, since Altera/Intel still supports the MAX7000 series with current Software: https://www.altera.com/products/general/devices/max7k/utilities/m7k-software.html Do you mean that the PCs running Windows XP can't be updated to a later version of Windows? Or you don't have the budget to update that piece of the overall system?
