    Hi Grant,

    The various drivers are part of the installed ACDS in the $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/drivers/usb-blaster directory.

    Cheers,

    I am also looking for the driver but I am using ASAP2_1023.exe and I dont have Quartus. Should I download the free version of Quartus to find the driver?

    THank you

    I would assume the driver to be part of the ASAP installation package, but I didn't use it since years. The above driver download link is still valid, however.

    I have installed the drivers as suggested, but I am having trouble downloading the firmware. I am ASAP2_1023.exe an dtryin to download firmware for 5 EPM9560 EPLDs and one EPM7064 EPLD.

    When I try to select "Multi-Device JTAG Chain Setup" it seems as if the programm can not see the EPLDs.
