Unable to find my device under the assign devices tab

hello,

im using an old apex fpga (EP20K100QC240-3), i cant seem to find it under the assign devices tab, ive found a similar one (EP20K100QEC240-3), however whenever i try to burn my project on it with a usb blaster it says its not the same device.

where can one find old FPGA's device librarys or whatever and add it to quartus?

btw am using quartus II v9.1

many thanks

IdanP

    I had the same problem , and installed almost all previous version of Quartus to find the device. The devices tab never showed the EP20K100 (non-E) device. I finally ended up editing the .qsf file itself.

    set_global_assignment -name FAMILY APEX20K
set_global_assignment -name DEVICE "EP20K100TC144-3"

    I used the QII9.0SP2 Web edition with my current license for 9.1SP2.

    Once I managed to get the device recognized, all went fine.
