11 years ago --- Quote Start --- I bought mine last week from Arrow, arrived Thursday. --- Quote End --- Ok, so at least the Arrow FAE has a reason to respond, given that these are new devices. If they had not worked at all, I'd suspect that the FTDI EEPROM was programmed (causing it to be recognized as a USB-Blaster), but the MAX V USB-Blaster IP was not (so it would not function as a USB-Blaster). My next guess would be there is a problem with the USB-Blaster, eg., power supply or clock. Perhaps you could probe around on the boards you have and see if voltages are incorrect, or that the clocks look ok. I'll upload a copy of the schematic that I found at some point (its better than the copy in the user guide). Cheers, Dave
