Migrate from Viper to Taipan

Hi, I have been using Viper to run my Selectset 7000 and, other than the PC to mac conversion, everything is fine. However, I wanted to go to a Taipan. I just acquired a Taipan and got an interesting batch of stuff.

Manuals for Taipan 3.0.1
APIS / PAC card
Taipan 2.0.1 CD
Blue serial port dongles says "Apogee Taipan 3.0.1"
Blue serial port dongles says "R00206-001"
Purple USB dongle of some sort with a sticker that says "78971209"

So my questions are:

Where would I go to find a 3.0.1 CD?

What is the purple USB dongle?

What operating system should I be using?

Thank you.
