What do you mean "legacy applications"? I'm pretty sure you can only program a device from Quartus or the Quartus Programmer. I've never heard of other apps working with a USB Blaster.

SSRELL,

Thank you for your quick reply! You are correct, we can only program a device from Quartus or the Quartus Programmer. Legacy is not an issue. I added that text to reference that the overall software application, which entails some automation for programming a target is no longer supported and I have no means to update/modify. The application is not an issue. I seek knowledge about how a USB Blaster II is assigned a Port value. If you have feedback to my specific questions, then it's greatly appreciated.
