do I need the USB Blaster Cable

Hi guys,

I want to buy on of the altera de1 boards

(terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=53&No=83).

It's also called "Cyclone II Starter Kit".

I interpret this "starter kit" so that all I need is included in the box.

But I'm not sure. Do I really need the USB Blaster Download Cable

(terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&No=46#section)

additionally for programming the fpga?

Or is the in the box included USB cable adequate for this board?

ty & regards
