IOS for older uBR hardware

I have a uBR7223 with two old cards (MC-11 and MC-14C), NPE-200 and 20 MB ATA Flash. I'm running IOS 12.2(8)T8 and am experincing some bugs, the worst of which is that sometimes the IOS "forgets" to include option 82 in relayed DHCP packets, which is how our provisioning of client IPs works.

I've contacted two Cisco dealers here in Bulgaria, both say that platform is already EOL and EOS, and that there are only 12.3 IOSes available for the UBR7200 platform, which are (1) too big for our ata flash and (2) do not support the MC11 for sure, I think the MC-14C too.

So, I'm asking for your help - if someone owns a uBR7200 and has a stable IOS version (doesn't matter if it's newer or older) and, especially if one is using the ip dhcp relay information option without issues - please reach me at my e-mail: root!net1,cc (replace ! with @, and the , with .).

Big thanks to anyone who responds in advance!

Emailed you... but here is the info for others benefit

We have some UBR7223 in the field
with IOS 12.3.21a which are supporting MC11's and MC14's

you will need a NPE225 IOS 12.3.x does not support the NPE200 or NPE150 and you will either need a 48-64 meg flash card or

you can get a PCMCIA->flash adapter readily available online and use Compact flash cards which are much more readily available.

12.3 is also a little picky with your bootloader you may need to boot the bootloader off the flash to get it to load or get a newer IO controller.

Anyone please help me with

Anyone please help me with this?
I need anything 12.3, but below 12.3.23 (the latest available at the CCO site), as it drops support for the old modem cards.

I'm now happily running

I'm now happily running 12.3(17), and all the problems are history. No more mass modem disconnections, no more missing option 82s in DHCP packets. Some other problems also solved, which we would have never thought were Cisco's issues. I can't believe 12.2 was sooo buggy.

Some notes about the 12.3(17) version:
1) It *does* run on the NPE-200 too, didn't test it with the 150
2) It does not support the MC-11 cards anymore, but it does support the MC-14C
