Is its possible to flash an  EPC1 device with .pof file using quartus programmer?

Hi,
you need old "Altera Master Programming Unit (MPU)" or more likely a third party parallel programmer supporting EPC1.

Simpler to switch to JTAG programmable EPC2 etc.

Hi,

you mean Max-plus 11 tool, or the third party tools like Elnec?

[FvM]

As said Altera MPU or third party. I guess you don't have access to MPU, so third party is your option. Several Elnec devices are supporting EPC1 according to web site.

HI intfpga2,

What FvM has stated is indeed true. From the EPC1 Datasheet: 

"Programming support with Altera’s Master Programming Unit (MPU) and programming hardware from Data I/O, BP Microsystems, and other manufacturers"

Else, easier with JTAG programmable EPC2.
