Yep, the offer was in Denmark though. I must say that the "prism" word
made me rely on it to work with Linux.

Yes, so I hope you can help me.

I just set it up and running with the Linuxant driverloader using the
Win-driver files PRISMA00.sys and PRISMA00.sys. I believe that the
PRISMA00.sys contains the firmware I can find sections that are
similar to those in the 1.0.4.3.arm, In the middle of the PRISMA00.sys
file I see:

Version 2.4.3.5 built on Fri Dec 5 15:23:37 CET 2003 by inlbuild@tixPACKPACKPACK

whereas the 1.0.4.3.arm contains:

Version 1.0.4.3 built on Wed Jul 16 11:16:29 CEST 2003 by inlbuild@tix  PACKPACKPACK

But I don't know which part to cut out from PRISMA00.sys file. It
seems that the PRISMA00.sys is a DOS/Win executable since it start
with such text as "This program cannot be run in DOS mode.", which I
believe is printed when a user tries to execute in DOS mode

Any suggestion of how to extract the firmware from the PRISMA00.sys file?
