Even if you do already have the latest USBBlaster-Binaries folder the message below seems to indicate that the files may be corrupted somehow. Therefore, in this case too, I’d download a fresh copy of the USBBlaster-Binaries folder and try them to see if that will work for you. </div><div><br></div><div>I just checked the current USBBlaster-Binaries/Program-Mercury-EPCS16.bat file in the USBBlaster-Binaries folder to verify that it has options for the current Altera Quartus II v13.0 version and Mercury_v3.4; it does, so it should work I would think. </div><div><br></div><div>73, Joe K5SO</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On Aug 9, 2014, at 10:40 PM, Conrad Walker wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">***** High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****<br><br><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
