That shows on Google as Procomp B680 motherboard. Is the PCB V2.1 or is it earlier ? Look for markings on the board.

That's OK, it doesn't support large disks. If you're happy to try it out, get it from the link here - it's the 256KB version, in brackets.
[edit]Rainbow got there first.... we should have a scheme. I didn't see you browsing the forum, Ondrej.

Sorry, the ftp timed out and reconnected to the root directory. I did say the 256K file.... it's there now if you have email problems.
