The download link for that website goes to here: https://navozhdeniye.narod.ru/donate.htm

Do I have to donate to get the driver?

That's the first table row, the 2019 version. Click the link in the second table row to get the 2015 version without donation.

The previous version of the driver from 2015 is still freely available. I got lost there for a bit too.

archive.org to the rescue

https://archive.org/details/VBEMPNT

can confirm the iso has the vbempk folder

  - i can also confirm that the two are not the same (aka the source vbempk.zip and the archive-org's iso's vbempk folder)
  - i can easily see why text files might have improved wording, cannot know why the sys files are different

it'll be in a vm, but i'd still be careful with either choices
