** OBSOLETE ** XEPLD PROGRAMMER HW-120: reports Product code error


Problem Description:
While trying to program an XC73108 with a HW-120, the programmer returns a
"Product code error".
               
The 73108 underwent a die shrink from 1.0u to .8u. At the same time the
product code was changed, because the programming voltages changed. This
error occurs when using a version 3.0 or earlier algorithm.


Solution 1:

Download the latest versions of the programming algorithms from the Xilinx
Technical BBS (filename DS120ALG.ZIP).
