Hi, I have lots (thousands) of Altera EPX880 (FlashLogic). This device is obsolete and the only software I know that can be used to design it is PLDShell Plus V5.1. Anybody know where to download it please...??? I contacted Altera they said they don't have it anymore... Thanks and best regards, Hart

These devices were based on the original Intel Flexlogic and were generally good but did have the limitation of a 24V10 internal block structures. A lot of designs struggled with the fan-in limitations and the family didn't last long as an Altera product probably in part because of this. From my scratchy memory I think use of these pretty much died out about 10-12 years ago. John Adair Enterpoint Ltd.

The problem is if you can really can use it or not...
