The update file containing the new speed grades is:

Solaris: http://www.xilinx.com/txpatches/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/a15_cpld_sol4.tar.gz
HP-UX: http://www.xilinx.com/txpatches/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/a15_cpld_hp4.tar.gz
Windows NT: http://www.xilinx.com/txpatches/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/a15_cpld_nt4.zip

If you are experiencing the MSVCRT.DLL issue, an alternative Windows NT fix is
available: http://www.xilinx.com/txpatches/pub/swhelp/M1.5_updates/a15_cpld_nt4a.zip

This file should be re-installed if the A1.5 Service Pack is installed.

NOTE - Some files that are replaced are marked as read-only; this is correct.
Some older versions of PKUNZIP will give only give a warning message in the
log file and will not replace the specified files. It is best to use a program such
as Winzip, which can be downloaded at
http://www.winzip.com .
