Good luck. That is ancient hardware and the company is long gone.

I know, just wanted to fire it up for nostalgia sake, but if no one has the firnware, i guess it is just a paperweight.

Mine crashed years ago and BA sent me links to the 1.18 recovery files to get it working again. The links still work.

Incidentally I've got a follow-up to my original X1 unboxing video going live soon. The power supply blew up in 2016, only last week did I get round to gutting the supply and converting it to run from an off-the-shelf ATX PSU. Wish I'd done it years ago when the difficulty level was still feasible. At least the 0.6 BTC it mined before blowing up meant that (given current prices) it was worth buying.
