5D ii, need link to 1.0.7 firmware download (or slightly later like 1.0.8, 1.1.1)

Help?

I'm using Eclipse Maestro camera-control (via USB cable) software for solar eclipse.

I have a 5D ii running 1.0.7 firmware, works fine..gets recognized by Eclipse Maestro

However, I have 4 additional 5D ii running 2.0.8 (one) 2.1.2 (3)..none of them work!

Closest I could find was:

https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/SCANNER-Digital-CAMERA-WEBCAM/CANON/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-II-Firmware-...

But, the download link (to Canon Japan) is broken! Tried Archive.org, no go!

Leaving in 1 week for eclipse, recently bought FOUR used 5D ii running recent firmware (2.0.8 - 2.1.2). Kinda in a panic state!

I have a Canon T4i (crop sensor camera) which works fine..go figure!

This sounds like the firmware was updated. I don’t recognise the 2.0.8 to 2.1.2 versions

Thankfully, some "cognizant users" tipped me off to a website with archived Canon DSLR firmware.

The cameras work!

Hope to do what I did in 2017 eclipse (Eastern Oregon):
