I have a .ZIP archive with Version 1.20 and all of the art and extra stuff. It is 11.1 MB and is named AirwarDos.zip. I downloaded it circa June 2006. If you can't find this archive, we can find some way to get you a copy.

DariusGaiden is beautiful, but scrolling is not smooth.

To some extent that is probably true. But there is zero rhyme or reason when it comes to anything considered "collectible" or "desirable." The fact that this stuff is being sold for charity is also likely to skew prices as well. I'm more curious about the "unique artwork" mentioned in the Pfhorums …

It was late, and I was in a hurry when I made the earlier post, but it is worth mentioning that this profile package is for pretty much all of the SideWinder products, not just the Gamepad, although profile availability varies according to game and SideWinder device. The profiles in this package …

Remember that there are both AGP and PCI variants of the card. It would be a good idea to indicate which is of interest in the title, so you don't get replies from folks with the wrong one. Looks like there is just enough evidence in the photos to indicate that this is the AGP variant.

Obviously, it is important to determine the connections across the adapter(s), but it would be a good idea to make sure you also test for connected pins on the same side of the adapter and do this for both the PS/2 and DB9 sides of the adapter. As an example, connect one resistance probe to Pin 1 on …

Another possibility might be to see if any of the National Instruments drivers work: ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/gpib/doswin3/ You will have to burrow down and read the readme files to see if any correspond to your particular bus/chipset.
