I recently acquired this CP/486SX2 DIL/NetPC PC/104 board (made by SSV Embedded Systems, a German company) which essentially acts as a breakout board for the ADNP/1486-3V module (based on the AMD Elan SC410 SoC) and while it works it only boots from a CF Card but it's supposed to also be able to boot ROM-DOS (or linux) from the builtin flash but that simply doesn't happen.

It's certainly possible I'm doing something wrong but it's also possible the flash has been erased somehow. Unfortunately the restore images where included in a CD-ROM that came with the starter kit this board/module where part of and I can't find those files anywhere.

So if anyone has this or even a similar board with the CD-ROM, I'd really appreciate a copy of those files

In this thread (very old now), someone from the company burnt him a CD ... https://www.ssv-comm.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=632

Have you tried that route yet?

Yeah I saw that forum and I couldn't register so I contacted the company (now it's SSV Software Systems) and they essentially told me to pound sand since I'm not a business so I emailed that KDW directly and I'm waiting a response.
In the meantime I'm also posting anywhere I can think of

I indeed found a lot of documentation but what I really need are the ROM-DOS images from the CD-ROM which don't seem available for download anywhere, then the board includes a loader to upload and flash those images via serial/ethernet
