Hi Jesse,

> (they are separate installs)?

I couldn't find any service packs for Nios II 5.0. But I found these:

Quartus 5.0 SP1 : https://www.altera.com/support/software/dow...nl-qii50sp1.jsp (https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/service_packs/quartus/dnl-qii50sp1.jsp)

Quartus 5.0 SP1.04 : https://www.altera.com/support/software/dow...tical-issue.jsp (https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/service_packs/quartus/dnl-q50sp1-critical-issue.jsp)

Basically, yesterday I finally upgraded to Quartus 5.0/Nios-II 5.0. I installed the SPs

listed above. Then made a copy of the 1c20 standard design, changed the reset address

to epcs ... and then started on this issue.

That's it -- yesterday morning, I started out with a clean machine after completely

uninstalling all of 4.2.
