	All you need is a USB blaster or one of its compatible derivates, which I meanwhile saw as cheap as USD 13,50 (free shipping) (Look for "Mini Altera FPGA CPLD USB Blaster programmer JTAG"). Also, you need to solder a ~~10pin~~ connector to the ~~14pin~~ programming interface (the remaining 4 pins are those needed for the JTAG port).

	'''Pin 1''' is next to the small 8 pin serial flash device. Basically nothing can go wrong because this method can even be used from a point zero. This is the so called "Active Serial" connector.
