So what's the deal with 1.033 ? Fixed bugs? Can't the damaged files be retrieved from the other floppy format since the game came with both 3.5" and 5.25" media?

I noticed this on the github page about the firmware: The Firmware There are two ways to get a programmed 80C51 chip for the Snark Barker. One is to purchase a SB 2.0 DSP chip from China and put it in a 44-PLCC to 40-DIP adapter. This works fine and provides the largest feature set. Another option …

You can insert 30pin simm sockets in the sipp sockets and it will work As for the model I have no idea but generally 286 boards don't have many jumpers so even if a couple are not documented you won't miss anything important
