11 years ago --- Quote Start --- ModelSim only deals with simulations. You need to use the Altera Quartus II software --- Quote End --- Oh, right, I was confused because the program title says "ModelSim-Altera 10.1e (Quartus II 14.0)" and I thought that was both. Actually I had no idea I needed both... OK I've installed Quartus II Web Edition 14.0.0 Build 200 06/17/2014 SJ Web edition, but after a lot of head scratching I've discovered it doesn't support MAX 3000A (or 7000) any more. Not sure why Altera did that, they look great for replacing GAL's ? :confused: (http://dl.altera.com/devices/, look under MAX series) but apparently 13.0sp1 does so back to http://dl.altera.com/?edition=web and there is a drop down that you can select the release of QII Web you want (currently 14.0) picking 13.0sp1 then adds "MAX 3000, MAX 7000 device support" under devices So, back to installing v14 and trying v13 Thanks for the help Galfonz, appreciated :) I'm just documenting what I've tried in case this process confuses other people, I hate it when the OP leaves a thread hanging. also, this is a related thread which might be relevant to someone http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45070 and this is a MAX 3000A breakout board that people might like http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/jose:_altera_max3000a_cpld_breakout_v1
