Later, for home, I got what claims to be an official Xilinx Platform Cable USB on eBay, from a Chinese supplier. It was much easier to get it running, and it has programmed everything I've tried it on. I make a number of boards that use Xilinx CPLDs and FPGAs, from the original 5V Spartan and 9500 to the Spartan 3A and 3AN, 9500XL and Collrunner II, and it has programmed all of them perfectly. I have no idea whether these are really unauthorized clones or official Xilinx products, but I can say they work, and are relatively cheap - cheaper than the Digilent. Jon
