Chosen solution

Those links have backslashes instead of forward slahes: 

<body><center><font size=2>CODICI FAST</font><br>
<a href='pompe\PL100.html' target='MAIN'><font size=2>PL 100</font></a><br>
<a href='pompe\PL101.html' target='MAIN'><font size=2>PL 101</font></a><br>
<a href='pompe\PL102.html' target='MAIN'><font size=2>PL 102</font></a><br>
<a href='pompe\PL103.html' target='MAIN'><font size=2>PL 103</font></a><br>
<a href='pompe\PL104.html' target='MAIN'><font size=2>PL 104</font></a><br>
<a href='pompe\PL105.html' target='MAIN'><font size=2>PL 105</font></a><br>

Ok, the solution is to use slash and not backslash. PL100 and PL101 works fine now.

But this is the link to the page, not the SRC of the image. The browser show correctly the page but the image <IMG SRC="PL 102.jpg"> doesn't get the path of the page. Why the page HTML is correctly shown with the link with backslash? Why the image with NO backslash in SRC isn't shown? Try to open: http://www.autogamma.com/FastSP/pompe/PL102.html You see images correctly. But in the frame (link with backslash to the page) you show only the HTML. It's strange.

There are still broken links with backslashes in that frame (right-click context menu: This Frame > Reload Frame).
Only the first two have a forward slash.
I have a bookmarklet to fix such links (86 originally, still 84 links left) and that makes the images show.

It is amazing that the pages with the backslashes also were uploaded (you may want to remove those!):

A good solution to this issue is to Ctrl-Click on the link and FF will follow the link.
