Low cost solution to program Spartan 3AN DSP development boa

[Etantonio]

I'm trying to renew my experience on fpga so last week I buy a
Spartan 3AN DSP development board
AES-SPEEDWAY-S3ADSP-SK from Silica for about 235euro.
But I've not the cable to program it, so I ask to Silica that suggest
me the

for 140 euros but my budget for personal training is ended, can you
suggest me some cheaper solution to program that board ??
Many Thanks

Did you not see Austin's reply yesterday in c.a.f? Digilent sells a $40 USB
cable that works, although unsupported by Xilinx. $20 for the parallel port
version.

I'm in trouble,
do you think that could be possible to program the FPGA from ethernet
for this board ?
Thanks,
