Is there a possibility of using Altera CPLDs to make a PassMe? I can't find xc9572s anywhere (mail order is not an option due to reliability of Ukrainian post), and I don't know the first thing about hardware design.

i would say read up on CPLDs and learn enough VHDL to understand what the passme code is doing, then you would just have to look for another CPLD that could do the same things.

I believe some later versions of the passkey were made with altera clpds, so it can work.
