Hi Folks,

Fellow Electronics hobbyist here.

I know this might be a bit off track from AVR components,but figured I'd give you all a try regardless.

I'm more of an Altera hardware man myself and have gathered quite the archive of the various Altera MAX+PLUS software packages that have come out over the years. I even managed to find releases from all the way back to the early MAX+PLUS version 2.7 for DOS & Windows 3.1. 

Anyhow,
My motivation is to archive and preserve these lovely apps, so that they don't vanish off the face of this earth, never to see the light of day again. :) 

Over the past few months I've delved into Xilinx hardware. And now I'm on the hunt for some of the older "Xilinx" CPLD programming software packages from the 80's & 90's.

Xilinx Software packages like:

-XACT 
-XACT Step
-Foundation
-M1

etc.

I'm hoping some of you folks here might have these stored on a hard drive or maybe have the software disks in a box up on a shelf somewhere.

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Folks,

Regards,
-Gerry

They might still be available on the Xilinx web site. If not, you could 
try the Xilinx forum.
