ft2232 support in quartus II

[Altera_Forum]

Does Quartus II officialy support ft2232 as a fpga programmer?

[Altera_Forum]

No it does not. 

the only support is for the Arrow Bemicro board. when I tried to get the drivers from Altera they refused.

The programmer costs ~10USD, why bother?

[Altera_Forum]

One might want to enable JTAG connection to the FPGA using a standard USB cable, anytime anywhere without the need for programmer. 

In my case I didn't have enough pins on the board for both USB and JTAG connectors.

There's a previous thread about the Arrow/FT2232 programmer option.

The most problematic point is, that's it's considerably slower than USB Blaster particularly in debugging, as reported in the said thread.
