This is a zip of the entire (and original) install disk for the SideWinder 3D Pro. You need the original install disk which was a Windows 95 Series to install it and then you can update the drivers. Just execute the file to open to it's own 3-1/2 floppy or folder and run the setup.exe file! Then update!
