xlinx faster jtag programming

I have a Spartan3E starter kit ... is there any way to make it a Jtag programmer for programming another Spartan3E FPGA in another board ?

Thanks & Regards ...
 

I'm not sure why you mentioned two Spartan-3E boards, but if you want to build a JTAG programming cable, here's the schematic of the Xilinx Parallel Cable III:

For me, it's easier to buy an inexpensive download cable such as the JTAG3 from Digilent:

If you are using Xilinx iMPACT software, then you will get much faster JTAG performance by using a Xilinx Parallel Cable IV or Xilinx Platform Cable USB. However they are rather expensive.
