The ZippA - does anybody has preserved the BIOS?

[1ST1]

Hello, there was a software/hardware called The ZippA to boot from parallel port ZIP drives even on XT class computers. There used to be two versions:

1. with modified MBR on the local harddisk load some function and then the system can continue to boot from the ZIP drive before an OS is loaded from harddisk
2. a little 8 BIT ISA card with the BIOS code to boot from parallel port ZIP drive

What could be found until now:

A cool utility lets you boot from an IDE or parallel port Iomega Zip drive (InfoWorld)

Question: Does anybody has preserved the content of this BIOS chip?

Idea: Plug the BIOS on the empty boot ROM socket of a network card...

No. I am a different person, although we talked about this topic in another forum already. Unfortunately nobody knows here (in the U.S.) this obviously rare ROM card.
