You'd be better off on comp.arch.fpga, for the actual hardware questions - I've crossposted to there and set the followups to go there also.
Regarding programming hardware, Altera have the Byteblaster schematics downloadable from their site, in the Byteblaster datasheet. I can;t recall if Xilinx have similar.
Thank you very much to all friends, and sorry for my very bad and poor

It's better than my Italian!
