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).

I don't have any more info on it unfortunately. It does have both PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports attached to the motherboard. Also it supports both async cache and COAST cache. Some benchmarks on it compared to other similar motherboards: Socket 5 & 7 Motherboard VGA Benchmark comparison
