Honored ContributorI found the same problem when I set-up a new laptop recently: I could not find Quartus 5.1 anywhere on the Altera website as it had been replaced with version 6.0. Luckily I had a copy of version 5.1 on a CD which came with my Nios dev kit so I used that instead. It would be helpful if Altera maintained a page on their website for old versions of the software.
