Ah! I'm pleased you got it sorted.
A colleague of mine had a very similar issue due to the voltage levels of
parallel ports being different from one machine to another.. 3.3 versus 5.0
or so - it was going to be my next suggestion to try a different computer.

Thanks for your help ! I moved to a different computer and now I am
able to program the device, and everything works properly. Very
strange ... My previous computer was a 10-15 year old laptop, and the
parallel-port is probably not working properly.

you can get that if there's something stuck at one.
Check the cables!

Hi,
I need some help with my Altera Dev Kit (STRATIX DSP S80 Development
Board Rev 1.2). I no longer seem to be able to program my device. It
was working properly until I started getting the following error:
"Error: Can't configure device. Expected JTAG ID code 0x20070DD for
device 1, but found JTAG ID code 0xFFFFFFFF."
Also, when I use the "Auto Detect" feature of Quartus II Programmer,
I get
"EPS180/_HARDCOPY_FPGA_PROTOTYPE" instead of the actual device name
EP1S80B9C656.
Does this mean that my development kit is toast, or am I missing
something here ? Has anyone seen such an error before ?I would greatly
appreciate any help !!
I am using Altera ByteBlaster II programming cable. Replacing the
cable with a new one doesn't help either.
Thanks,
Vijay.
