The ByteBlasterMV parallel port download cable (ordering code: PL-BYTEBLASTERMV) is a hardware interface to a standard PC parallel port (also known as an LPT port). This cable drives configuration data to APEX 20K, FLEX 10K (including FLEX 10KA and FLEX 10KE), FLEX 8000, and FLEX 6000 devices, as well as programming data to MAX 9000, MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 3000A devices. Because design changes are downloaded directly to the device, prototyping is easy and multiple design iterations can be accomplished in quick succession. See Figure 1.
