Looks like Intel removed access to early versions of Quartus/MaxPlus as of 26 Jun 2020. Go to this page:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/downloads/download-center.html

and read the Product Discontinuation Notice referenced. You are SOL for v9.0.

Version 13.0sp1 is still available for download and it supports the MAX7000 series (I know this because I use it routinely for EPM7000 designs).

Looks like the support for Flex 10K (EPF10K) is kaput as it stopped at version 9.0.

As a point of reference, WHENEVER I use a part/family in a design I download and archive all available documents and software from the vendor and back it up on DVD. Ditto for the computer system OS if it requires a legacy OS to run (like WinXP).

    Hi!

    Thanks for the reply! I actually had archives of 9.0/9.1 as those were the last ones that had integrated simulators, which made it really easy. They also both still support the EPF10K10 FPGAs..

    I'll keep searching my backups but if anyone has a 9.0sp2 somewhere, I'd be much obliged!

    Thanks!

      Same here - have basic install but missing service packs (SP1 & SP2). Please let me know if you are able to locate. Thanks.
