Hello
Back in 1996 my company has purchased a COP8SA-EPU-2 Programming and Evaluation Unit
(programmer and hardware debugger) produced by Metalink for the NS COP8 microcontrollers.
Now we need to use the unit again for modifying and testing an old project.
Unfortunately the diskette with the EPU driver is damaged.
I have tried to contact Metalink support e-mail, but they don't answer.
It seems that the company is out of business.
The web site www.metaice.com (http://www.metaice.com) is empty and was not updated since 2012.
Maybe somebody has a copy of the COP8 EPU driver software to share.
Many thanks.

You might be able to find something on eBay. This popped up off the bat, but looks a little different:

Maybe? I found a COP8 system with some sort of Metalink hardware on my shelf, and it had a CD.ISO image here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tdsAjtU9q1jsTbWGHMiL8ld86qjNaPcx/view?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tdsAjtU9q1jsTbWGHMiL8ld86qjNaPcx/view?usp=sharing)It's all mysterious install files at first glance; I can't immediately tell whether it has what you need or not.
(On closer inspection, my thingy seems ot be an iceMASTER-WA COP8-EM/DM/IM-Flash (NSID: COP8-EMFLASH-00, Metalink COP8WA10020), and the documentations (printed!) says it's from circa 2000.)
