I bought a copy this last weekend from the sale section of JDR's.
$40 so thought I was getting a real good deal.  Turns out this
version only supports 3.1, not 3.5.  I was just getting ready to try
finding newer drivers when I read the above post.  Now I don't know
it it's possible. 

Are there 3.5 drivers for version 5?  The readme file states what
ships will not work for 3.5, but I did not try.
