I've noticed that information on the Zenith Data Systems Superport 286 is severely lacking online. I'm guessing that there aren't many left in running condition due to capacitor/hdd issues. I'm gathering all of the hours of research and trial/error I've done to release online in one place but one thing in particular that I'm looking for is a later revision BIOS. I purchased the only two laptops available on eBay, but they both have the original Revision 1 BIOS. I've purchased an EEPROM programmer and ripped that BIOS (and did a diff to confirm that both laptops had the same version). The only other ROM I found online was for the Supersport 286e, but when putting that on my laptop, it didn't post.
Anyways, I'm hoping to find someone that has a Superport 286 that can do one of the following:
1) Rip your BIOS and send me the files (I can walk you through it if needed).
2) Let me borrow your laptop so I can back-up the BIOS (I'll pay 2-way shipping)
3) Sell me your laptop (I really don't want to do this as I already have two)
I'm gathering the information on my Github (https://github.com/Subrosian/zenith-supersport-286) until it is finalized, then I will put on archive.org.
