Hello Ray,

After doing some searching, I decided you meant the S4 100 (note the
space).  After some more browsing I came across this:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000055XZB/ref%3Dnosim/newsfortraders/102-4947617-0544127

One of the customer reviews states that this is also a Umax, as you
suggested, Model Astra 3400.  Now, presuming this is the case, there are
drivers located on the Umax site.

The driver download for Win98SE was something like 44Mb.  I surely hope
this helps.
