A quick Google search on this forum should've provided you with what you need:

Yes, the dropbox link is dead, but the file is luckily attached to the same post.

BIOS works for both 2120 and 2200 (says 2000 series in the file).

Yes exactly and I was told that this was a case and my Edge 3D should be working again... Unfortunately I don't have bios flashing tools or skills...

So do you need help? Do you want me to flash it for you and provide the flashed EEPROM to you?
I have a 2120 card.

Are there any software tools to flash it? Maybe by using another pci graphics card?
I have the same problem here: a 2200 card and it doesn't even have the bios chip anymore so i need to flash another one.

I know, thank you, but that was not the question.

This can also be done with flashrom and any supported network card (featuring a PDIP BOOT ROM socket).
