Quartus 9 or 10 download for cyclone i

Where can I get the Quartus 9 or 10 installer?

I want to recompile a project for a Cyclone i device, but Cyclone i is not supported in 11.

I went to the Altera ftp for old releases: (had to fragment - can't post links yet)

ftp . altera . com/outgoing/releases

but I can't see which file is the main installer - I can only see components (like programmer or modelsim etc).

Can anyone give me an exact link?

Thanks!

    It looks like they removed the web-packs from the ftp server. I would open a my-support case, and see if they will give it to you.

    For some reason, Altera wants you now to request previous Quartus versions by E-mail. There's a link on the download page.

    So, no reply from Altera today when I requested Quartus 10.

    I don't understand why this has gone under lock and key...

    without quartus 10 or earlier you can't use cyclone i. Yes, it's a 10 year old product, but they are still marketing it on the website - so this is very confidence diminishing move for me in using an Altera device in a design.

    I'll ask the Altera people manning their booth why they've removed these files. I'll post their response later today.

    I talked to someone that indicated he'll talk to the person responsible for the FTP site. I'll post an update if I get an update via email.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Dave (I'm actually in the area myself but I was not at the conference).

    My email request for quartus 10 has gone nowhere. So I have sourced it from 'somewhere else'... you gotta do what you gotta do. Kinda mad I'm in this situation. :mad:

    Yes, I was annoyed when I could not get 9.0sp2 for rebuilding some FLEX/ACEX designs. It was only after either Tricky or thepancake posted the FTP site that I was able to download it.

    Cheers,
