Why not stick it in the PC and see what Windows does with it? Who knows, if you have a later version of Windows it may already have the drivers. It's worth a try.

corosus,
Does it have a model # on it?
If so, search Google with it and see what you get. I've been able to identify alot of hardware that way.
