I have the 4.0 software (downloaded from some website, I don't have the CD), it seems to be from 1999 it's for win9x but it works (most of it) on windows XP, as far as I know there is no native XP driver for it.

I have looked everywhere for that disk. I'd be eternally grateful if you could upload it to your google drive and send me a link at: ram16@cox.net Thanks.

I think this is the version of the software that I used.

Thanks very much for this. This appears to be the "force feedback" version. Does that sound right to you? It's important to me because I haven't bought the hardware yet. I was afraid I would never find a disk owner and figured it was much less likely to find both disks. I do have a machine running XP so I should be able to test the installation process. BTW, I have several Sidewinder Dual Strike controllers with disks if you ever need one. I've discovered the Dual Strike disk is even more rare than the one I just downloaded. I don't understand why someone hasn't updated the drivers to work with modern OSs. I'd do it myself if someone would show me how. Anyway, thanks again.
