The McGraw-Hill Companies would like to thank you for purchasing Introduction to Logic Design, 2/e by Alan B. Marcovitz, ISBN 0072865164. This CD-ROM contains software products from two different companies: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1). From the Altera Corporation: The Quartus® II Software Starter Suite contains the following: Quartus II Web Edition: Entry-level environment for FPGA and CPLD design including design entry, synthesis, place-and-route, verification, and programming. The Quartus II Web Edition software supports devices from all mainstream Altera device families. For more information on the Quartus II Web Edition software, visit http://www.altera.com/products/software/pld/products/quartus2/sof-quarwebmain.html. Nios Embedded Processor OpenCore Plus Evaluation Edition: Evaluation edition of the Nios embedded processor can be used to evaluate the Nios processor prior to purchase of a development kit. Can be used for software development and board-level design verification. Includes the GNUPro software development suite for the Nios embedded processor. Note, to use the on-chip instrumentation (OCI) debug module you will need to enable TalkBack in the Quartus II Web Edition software by running the qtb_install.exe program from the /bin directory. DSP Builder Evaluation: Evaluation version of the interface between The Mathworks MATLAB and Simulink system-level design tools and the Quartus II software for digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm development and implementation. Requires The MathWorks MATLAB version 6.1 and higher and Simulink version 4.1 or higher for operation. Evaluation version allows simulation in The MathWorks Simulink environment only. VHDL file generation requires purchase of a DSP Builder license from Altera. Installing the DSP Builder software evaluation also installs the DSP Builder readme file and user guide documentation. For more information on the DSP Builder software, visit http://www.altera.com/products/software/system/products/dsp/dsp-builder.html. HardCopy & Quartus II Movie Short movie that provides an overview of how HardCopy Stratix ASIC-alternative devices and Quartus II software minimize risk, reduce development cost, and improve time to market. Also provides an overview of the Quartus II design environment for FPGA, CPLD, and HardCopy devices. Operating System Support: All (Altera) software on this CD-ROM is supported on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT.

From the YoEric Corporation: WinBreadboard and MacBreadBoard Demos. *** WinBreadBoard Requirements *** WinBreadboard DEMO requires Windows 3.1 or higher (including Windows 9x and NT). Purpose This is a Demonstration version of WinBreadboard, the Digital Electronics Trainer/Simulator. It has a very unique interface you're gonna love. The price for the full version of WinBreadboard or MacBreadboard is $49.00 (which includes shipping). Send checks, money orders (payable in US dollars) or company POs to the address below: YOERIC Software 256 Windy Ridge Road Chapel Hill, NC 27514 USA email: congers@yoeric.com For credit card purchases, Please visit our web site at: http://www.yoeric.com Getting Started from this CD =============================== 1. UNZIP the wbrddemo.zip file in the Winbreadboard folder, located on this CD. 2. Navigate to the folder where you unzipped your files and double-click wbrddemo.exe Compatibility Issues ==================== It has come to our attention that the Buzzer may not be compatible with all of the available sound drivers. WinBreadboard works best with the standard sound driver that is provided with Windows 3.1. If you are using the PC-Speaker Sound Driver you will experience problems. You will need to remove the PC-Speaker Driver to use the Buzzer feature of WinBreadboard. The PC-Speaker Driver is only capable of playing sounds synchronously. This is incompatable with the desired use of WinBreadboard's buzzer. Other sound drivers may also have problems. The Buzzer should make a continuous high pitched noise if it is working correctly. If you don't hear the noise or you hear a clicking sound, WinBreadboard is not compatible with your sound driver. You will need to remove your sound driver and use the standard windows sound driver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** MacBreadboard Requirements *** MacBreadboard will run on any Macintosh computer. Purpose This is a Demonstration version of MacBreadboard, the TTL Breadboarding Simulator. It has a very unique interface you're gonna love. MacBreadboard's purpose is to provide a simulation of the actual TTL breadboarding experience. It received a "Software Excellence Award" from Technology & Learning and a "Four Star" review by MacWorld magazine. MacBreadboard is $49 including shipping. We accept checks and money orders in US dollars as well as school/company PO's.
