Hi :) for many years Xilinx has tried to HIDE the schematics of the USB Cable, but as of today Xilinx has made it public !!! really good news, no more guessing needed http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/33028.htm from this page get the archieve, look in the schematics page 14 Antti
Xilinx USB CABLE SCHEMATIC NOW OFFICIALLY PUBLISED !!!! ::) yippii yee

Or what is the cheapest EEPROM programmer that can be used with the EEPROM for this circuit? Aaron
