I am setting up a F2-221 from scratch and I went to the Download section only to discover that all 5.1 TOS packages are no longer available for F2-221. Luckily I had TOS_X642.0_5.1.24_00322_2302221846 lying around, so I installed it and to my surprise TOS then updated to 5.1.67. Apparently TOS 5.1 works fine on F2-221.
Why were the 5.1 versions removed from the download page for F2-221?

When TOS6 was first permitted out of it's cage, the default upgrade path was from TOS5.1.95. This, of course, worked on an F2-221 and I would go back to 5.1.95 if I wished a clean start on the Beta. However, that version has also "disappeared" from the downloads "available". The other day I started going through the download pages for alternative devices and collating various installation and update packages that I could find. The F2-221 does, of course, run TOS6.0 right up to 6.0.229. It may even work on later versions, but there are other issues and my 221 has died (for now).
