This is very cool mod, but I see that it is required to desolder the FPGA and solder again. If it's work that good news

I quick check and this old Altera Cyclone also use 1,5V and 2,5V for VCCIO, saddy no 1.2V - this voltage is support form Cyclone III

But if only 1.8V do the work, I am interested in this modification.
